I ordered a jetbook and received it within the same week (I'm living in Spain so it's a very good performance). During the last five months I've been using this device every day and I'm really happy with my purchase. I hope You'll go on with the developing of that kind of readers.

Y'all are unbelievable! I was hoping to score a case for my jetBook LITE and to get one for my son, dad, and friend as well is really awesome!
Not only will I keep reading, but I'll continue to recommend your product to everyone I can as well. In addition to the jetBook LITE being the best ebook reader out there, the Ectaco team are great people too!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you for the four cases and the opportunity to win them with the contest.

If you have parents that read, I'd highly recommend it.
My Dad has been struggling with Macular Degeneration, so he reads landscape style on the largest font size. His small local library only has about 50 large print books. So he's really enjoying being able to read again.

Can't put it down
It's small, fast, and holds thousands of books (with a memory card, I have a 4GB SD card in mine. I can't read books from my local library on it...for now. To my understanding there will be a firmware upgrade soon that will fix that. It's a good, basic reader that does most of what the more expensive K*&^le and S*&y readers will do, and that's to read Ebooks! I don't need wireless capability to "get a book in seconds". While that's a nice feature to have, it's not worth paying 2, or 3 times what the Jetbook Lite cost me.

I like it!
The things I like about the JetBook Lite are: - the reflective TFT display is very sharp and clear (provided you have enough ambient light)
- powered by AA batteries so that I will never have to stop reading to recharge as with most other readers
- a comfortable weight and size that make it very portable
- lots ebook formats supported: TXT, RTF, PRC, PDF, MOBI, HTML, FB2, EPUB
- you can add a large SD/SDHC card and put thousands of books on it and put them in logically ordered folders (not all readers have SD slots and some don't allow folders
- a fair price, especially at Newegg (the best deal I could find on the net)
In general I prefer public domain/classic ebooks to current bestsellers, but it would be convenient if the Jetbook Lite supported Adobe DRM in use by public libraries sometime in the near future. It would be nice it it came with a case because the battery compartment bump on the back, although handy for holding while reading, will not fit into any standard case. I worry that, while falling asleep reading or while carrying it around the house, I will drop and break it! I wish it had a better dictionary, the Eng-Eng dictionary included is practically useless (to me). Hopefully they will fix this with a better dictionary in a future update. It would be nice if you could jump to a particular chapter when the format provides for such, like those that have HTML tables of contents (like many of those at Project Gutenberg). I can live with its current limitations for the price, with expectations of future improvements to the on-board software.

Great reader
I bought this reader in early December for my wife, and it's performed great. She's had no issues with it at all (other than letting the batteries die on her while reading), and uses it daily. My wife is a nurse who does in-home patient care, and at times, there is a large amount of sit-and-wait, but now she just pulls out her jetbook, and can pass the time reading. The only real con we've seen with it is the battery indicator appears to be geared towards regular batteries, so the charge-level when using rechargables is off. The unit works great on them, but expect your charge-remaining to not always be correct. My wife carries a spare set of batteries for this reason.

I love my JBL ereader
Fast page turns. No reflash on page turns. Uses common AA batteries. Clear screen easy to read. Recognizes many formats. I love this ereader, its everything I wanted and has fulfilled my expectations. I had been wanting an ereader but they were very expensive. This is a reasonable price and is as good as any ereader on the market. There are three different ways to turn the page which I really like. I can switch back on forth which makes it more comfortable with repetitive motions like page turns. I am also well satisfied with Exacto customer service. Emails are answered promptly and they have been very helpful with my questions. I like that it uses AA batteries, I use rechargeables and always have a fresh set of batteries ready to inserted. I am pleased with my Jetbook Lite. I do not regret my decision to buy a JBL from Newegg and would do it again. I use my JBL every day.

Great value for the money. Beautiful screen! Very crisp. Easy for non tech people to learn to use. Love AA batteries, so much easier for my mom to deal with than trying to keep a reader charged. Fast page turning/no annoying flash. I purchased this reader for my 83 year old mother who finds even email challenging. I am amazed at how easily she can work this reader! It is very very intuitive to use. Just a couple of minutes of me showing her the basics on how to use it and she was good to go. Even my father who hates all things electronic could figure out how to use it. And she find the screen very easy on her eyes. She keeps remarking on how beautiful the printing is. I honestly thought that the reader would just join the pile of other gifts that I have given my mother and she won't use. Boy, I was wrong. She uses it almost every day!

Great ereader, I love it!
Screen very easy to read in all conditions, but not backlit so need a light source in the dark; 5" form factor compact and easy to carry in pocket or bag; 3 options for page turning; 6 font sizes (and equivalent zooming for PDF viewing); takes AA batteries; long life on rechargeables (more than 10 hours); remembers place in multiple ebooks; compatible with B&N .pdb secure ereader format and LOTS of others - htm, txt, rtf, prc, epub, pdf; takes SD cards for unlimited storage possibilities; USB connection to upload directly to internal memory; lot of free ebooks included in memory; inexpensive enough for a first timer to get into ebooks

Reader is small and lightweight. About like sitting and reading a standard paperback. Screen is crisp and clear. Handles text, pdf, and various ebook formats I have thrown at with with no issues. Still have the batteries that came with it loaded and have a full charge (only light usage so far). After reading through all of the pros and cons on various sites (including the Newegg reviews), I had decided that I would get a jetbook reader. I couldn't resist the recent special (115/free shipping) and made the purchase. So far I have been pleased with the jetbook. I do not need a wi-fi connected reader for instant downlaods, I just need a digital paperback for reading. I have gone out and collected a lot of old books from project Gutenberg and other sites. I have found an excellent user support group in the MobileRead forums for the jetbook. Great group for any eReader owner. I also loaded some comic book scans (JPG) onto the reader. Even though they are grey scale and not color, they were still clear and sharp. Wouldn't recommend making this a comic book reader, but it's not really too bad for doing just that. The images look great, but the text would have to be zoomed to be read.

I liked the first one so much I bought a second
Pros: I love physical books so much I was initially skeptical of ereaders. Then looking at displays in Staples, etc., and thinking about "a library in my pocket" I started researching. The result of my labors was this device - then I bought a 2nd!
Its positives are:
1. user replaceable, cheap batteries
2. a highly readable screen, with no more eyestrain than that of a paper book (approximately)
3. mostly "intuitive" operation (I seldom looked in the manual, albeit the manual needs improvement/expansion)
4. size/form factor weight (compromise between portability and readability)
5. support for many ebook formats: fb2, prc, mobi, html, txt, rtf, pdf, epub, and perhaps more to come
6. support for folders (but not too deep!). Buy an SD card and you can organize your heart out and have lots of books to peruse
7. a price not far above $100 - if you want a good reader NOW and don't want to spend a lot the JBL, as we owners like to call it, may be a good choice.

Excelent e-Reader
It supports a ton of formats, including PDF, and SDHC cards. The reflective TFT LCD screen is very readable with no eye fatigue. No refresh like the e-paper screens. Can change the orientation of the screen, and the battery pack on the back acts as a stand for reading at the table. The interface is very easy to use and understand, and it's fast. Feels better in my hands than the Sony Reader Pocket. I would have preferred a 6" screen, but the 5" works. Only 100MB internal memory. (Just get a 2GB SD card and you should be good.) I noticed a few people complaining about the battery pack sticking out the back, but I find that the reader fits very comfortably in my left had because of it. It doesn't have wireless or an mp3 player, but you really don't need them on an e-reader.

Just purchased your white-case model. It appears to operate very well and navigation is pretty obvious/user friendly. Thanks for providing a great alternative to the Kindle and Sony's offering.

I purchased one over the weekend and tested mobi and epub. No problems. I like the TFT screen better than the e-ink Sony and Kindle because it doesn't do that weird blinking. This is number one reason I purchased this. Please do not do use e-ink in the future, stick with increasing the resolution... Just let people know that this screen switches screens faster, works like a real computer screen (which is what most of us use already), and was developed for this specific purpose
. Also you are not forced to use proprietary software and this one uses a REAL file system with folders. Last, I can use the bottom buttons to switch easier because I have carpal tunnel problems and I can use my left hand. The screen rotation is also pretty neat. Thanks for a great product! People are ready for a electronic reader at this price.

I am a huge fan of the jetBook and am very VERY happy that I purchased this instead of something else. I had a stroke a year ago and can no longer read 'normal print' books and have found that large print books have become too expensive or that the wait is too long for my patience. So I started researching ebook readers and I decided to give this one a try because of 2 reasons. #1, the price was right and #2, you can store pictures. I have been VERY happy with this product and have recommended it many times to many people including my neuro-optomologist who is looking into getting one. For me, text files work best. While jetBook supports and prefers text files, most of my ebooks were in pdf format. However, I found a wonderful converter that works wonders, so it's no longer a con for me.

The Jetbook screen is NOT backlit and I find it plenty easy on the eyes. I often read on it for several hours a day. The chief advantage to the Jetbook, in mind is that it can fit in the front pocket of my jeans (also the back pocket.. but I don't want to sit on it :)). It makes it relatively easy to have it with me where ever I go. The iPod Touch and other PDAish sized devices are ok for quick reading sessions, but the smaller screens quickly become annoying. In other words, I would say that a 5" screen size is just about right.. big enough to not be distracted by the poor formatting and frequent page turns of sub 4" screens, and not so large as to make the device to bulky. I have used both eInk and LCD screens, each has their strengths... I like eInk, but if you need to look at an oversized PDF document, LCD wins by a mile.

Mbipocket Creator and Convert Doc are Windows only I believe. I must say again, now that it is nighttime and I am reading by lamp, the jetBook print is much blacker than the Kindle. Side by side, I find the jetBook much easier to read in lamp light, as I did this afernoon. I have not tried the jetBook outdoors yet. This is a surprise to me, after all the talk of electronic ink. Almost instant page turns too. The Kindle looks, no joke here, washed out and faded next to it. I paid almost exactly the same for both, and that's my honest take.

Ectaco jetBook Universal Portable Reading Device Review
Great size, very portable; extremely easy to operate; large screen with lots of viewing options; multiple language support; pre-loaded with a diverse virtual library of classics and information; easy to download even more reading material from several free eBook sites.

In 5 minutes I was more impressed with the jetBook than the sony ebook reader. I could not take Sony's "flash" on page turns. The buttons were hard to press and too tiny. E-publishing is the new frontier! Get the jetBook into as many electronics stores as you can. It beats Sony hands-down.

I just bought a Jetbook and I'm very happy with it. The screen is a bit small but it's great to read PDFs, especially with the zoom function. I love my jetBook. -- no eye strain at all. And I have already used the landscape feature twice. (who would have guessed). Thanks for making such a great eReader.

Hello, guys,
Thanks for your JetBook. I bought it 2 weeks ago and constantly reading on my daily ride from NJ to Manhattan and while waiting kids from their tennis class. I probably read more books with JetBook in these 2 weeks than in the past 2 years. Thanks to Ann Smith for teaching me where to get free content. Good luck with your new projects.
PS: I tried morning downloads from news sites. Works perfect.

My wife has the iLiad and I have a good chance to compare it with my Jetbook. My opinion is that the Jetbook wins all comparisons.
