Got my Jetbook Lite today!

[jrl007]

It's a lot smaller than I thought, but it's nice. I'm 1/3 through my first book already. Transferred some of the public domain stuff that I had onto a 4GB SD card that I picked up at Staples, I was going to grab a reader too, but I remembered that my laptop has a built in reader so that saved me a few bucks, the SD card itself was $12.99.

Imported the books into Calibre, copied them onto the SD card, put the card in the JBL and they looked a little funky so I tried telling Calibre to only put the Epub version onto the card, but they were still showing up as PDF's. Figured out that I had to actually convert them using Calibre, Duh! Then they copied fine. Some of the spacing is a little funky, but very readable. I had read here that Epub was the best format for the JBL, so that's what I tried.

I'm SO excited! I do have one book that won't load, says the file size is too big. I had told Calibre to chunk it up if it was over a sertain size, I left it at the default because I thought it would be ok, but I'm going to have to play around with it some more.

Did I mention that I was excited?

YAY!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, I got it from Newegg, and it was laready updated to the latest firmware, v15. I think that a few people were asking that question a little while ago.

From an earlier thread I started:

Sometimes, even though the ePub's internal .html files are split into the
smaller files, I get the "File Too Large" error when trying to read a Calibre
conversion from an "ereader2html" file/folder to an ePub file/ebook.

I must be missing something in the process.

Any tips?

Luck;
Ken

P.S. One work around I found is to go ereader2html>pdb>ePub, which
works fine (except that the apostrophe gets turned into a question mark
for some reason)

You may get the book to fit on the JBL if you go from whatever you
have now, to pdb, then to ePub.

( I don't see how you put in a link to another thread. It was in this forum,
on 7 Jan, I think.)

Congratulations! I got mine from newegg this month also. I don't think mine has the latest firmware, and I didn't update it yet, its working fine the way it is.

Congratulations! I'm waiting for my jetBook to arrive here in Brazil too. Bought the graphite jetBook from NewEgg and I think I'll need to wait at least to weeks before to get it in my hands. While I'm waiting for this, this forum is being a great source of information for me.

I would like you fellow forum members to please bear with me for my poor english. I'm a self learner of the english language so feel free to PM me about my orthographic and grammar errors so I can edit the posts and fix them.
