Wow!! June 2, 2009

This is Great!! The screen is nicer than my wife's Kindle when looked at side by side. It will fit in my pocket in cargo pants. Less than 200$ at newegg.

No DRM'd books will work, but there are lots of classics and bittorrent and a program called 'dedrm'. [You BUY the book first, then dedrm it.]

I have enough books for 800-1000 years of solid reading now.

I find I read books it portrait mode mostly [sideways] and I can read books without my glasses.

The reader seems fairly well built and it is easy to use. You can even store files on it and put your books in folders of your own!

Anything can be nit-picked to death, but this is great for the money!

I have had a white version of the JB-5 model for about 6 months now. I recommend it. This is a good general purpose eReader and mp3 player.

On the plus side:
1. It hasn't gotten dirty or broken (not even the little hingey thing that covers the SD card area) yet. And I am not exactly kind to my electronic equipment.
2. It feels good in my hand, and my hands don't get tired holding it. The buttons are easy to use to change font size or open a dictionary or locate a bookmrk. Turning the page is easy with either the right or left hand.
3. The resolution of the screen is great. I can use the smallest of settings and still read text. And blowing up the text to a huge size is easy too (and still legible).
4. There is no flash, when I turn pages - and it is fast to open the larger books and files, I have on my SD card.
5. It is ridiculously easy to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape. -- which turns out to be necessary for one of the pdf poetry books, I was reading (artwork was across two pages).
6. I have a Mac and I have absolutely no problem downloading onto this eReader.
7. Some of the emerging authors are selling their books a chapter at a time or are selling their eBook directly from their own site. And for the authors I am following, they publish in txt, pdf, or fb2 formats. So this is great (and cheap) for me.
8. Ectaco will help me find specific books in electronic format-- even when it seems that only a hardcopy is available. All I have to do is ask.

On the cool side, but I haven't used the feature much:
1. The dictionary area is set up for something like 6 or 7 different languages (and their conversions from one language to another). And the CD comes with a bunch more.

On the minus side:
1. It looks like the publishing industry is going through the same pains that the music industry went through with CDs and mp3 files. They can't figure out what method they want to standardize on - and they are afraid the whole world is going to share their best books for free, rather than paying for them. So this eReader doesn't read the proprietary formats that are out there.
