I am thinking about buying the Ectaco jetbook lite, I have a few questions before I buy one. How and where do I buy ebooks or audio books? If I need to convert files, what program(s) would I use that are user friendly? How do I go about paying for ebooks or audio books?

Thank you for answering my questions.

Dear Chris,

The jetBook Lite currently supports the eReader DRM for PDB files.
You may download the ebooks in PDB format from Barnes & Noble, Ereader.com or Fictionwise.

Please make sure to download a sample before purchasing any book; if it ends in PDB, you’re good to go, and if it ends in ePub it won’t open on the Jetbook Lite.

Also supported are the following unprotected ebook formats:
ePub, Mobi, PRC, RTF, .txt, .pdf, .fb2.

The new version with the ePub DRM support is expected to be released this year and you will be able to download the updated firmware absolutely free if you buy the current version of the jetBook Lite.

You may find more information on the jetBook Lite online at
https://www.ectaco.com/products/ectaco-jetbook-lite

The Jetbook-lite does not support audio books as well as no MP3 support.

The regular jetbook supports mp3 format audio books as well as mp3 sound file but this version does not support any DRM officially.

Un-officially you can get firmware version 35a which adds Adobe Digital Edition's ePub DRM support. That's what is being reported at Mobileread forum.

Now all we need is a better english dictionary and Text Flow for PDF reading.
