I love the jetbook. My dad bought me a white one for christmas since i cant ever put down a book and since I am going off to college next year, he thought it would be a great way to store all my favorite books without breaking my back. It really out maneuvers anything the other digital reading devices complain about adn I love it. My friend says she wants one now too. I owe it all to the jetbook. Vladimir Dautfest

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. Pamela Vladimir Dautfest

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. Vladimir Dautfest

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. Theresa Vladimir Dautfest
