Features:  

We hope that it’s because eBood readers are so new, but there are very few color options available if you’re looking to purchase one. We don’t have anything against black or white, but it gets old after a while. That’s why we were so excited to see that the Jetbook comes in red, grey, black and white.

Unlike every other eBook reader we reviewed the Jetbook sports an LCD screen. We’ve heard a lot about how the E-ink technology helps reduce eye-strain, but Jetbook puts up a pretty good argument saying that their screen actually is easier to read because it doesn’t go black with every page turn. That means you can read it longer. You can also switch the screen between portrait and landscape modes.

Although this is one of the lowest-priced eBook readers we’ve reviewed, we just can’t get over the fact that it only supports three file types: TXT, PDF and FB2. That really limits the number of books you can get on the Jetbook. However, you get what you pay for it.
 

Content:  

Beyond those two features the Jetbook starts to fall short. Supporting only 3 file formats (one some kind of weird Russian file type we don’t quite understand) it is limited in the number of books you can read on the device. In fact, it limits the number of anything you can do on the device.

Technical Support:  

On the Jetbook product information site you can find information with very general FAQs with no direct link to a support page for help with the product. The site does link to the Ectaco site where you can email them your problem(s) and wait to hear back from them.

While the Jetbook does offer some cool features that we would like to see incorporated in other devices, it really falls short in the number of files it supports, making it almost useless as an eBook reader.
