Before buying Jetbook color I borrowed one from a friend to try it, to test it, to get first-hand experience.
First, I read a pre-downloaded book "Ugly Americans". It is in PDF. I cannot enlarge the fonts to make them a comfortable for me large size. If I increase zoom text does not fit in the page.

Next, I tried to download a book myself. First as PDF. Same problem. When I try to increase fonts the text does not fit the page. I also have Kindle Keyboard. The same problem with PDF download.

Then I converted the book into Word and downloaded both to Jetbook color and to Kindle Keyboard.

On Kindle I can read the Word version OK and enlarge the text to my preference. It fits the page at any font size perfectly.

With Jetbook color I has a problem. I tried to download to both drives. But when I open my Jetbook I cannot see it at all. I see PDF OK. But I do not see my downloaded Word file. If I open Jetbook on my PC I see those files saved in both drives. But if I open Jetbook itself - it is not there. Neither in Downloaded books, nor in any other folder! Just absent! I tried everything - to drag the icons, to copy and paste, to "send to..."... I cannot see this Word file on my Jetbook color no matter what I do.

Any help?
Any suggestions?
Jetbook color cannot read Word files?

Both PDF and Word versions of the book that I tried to download are attached below.

Thank you!

Hi,

You have an older version of the jetBook Color firmware, you can download the newer one at www.jetbook.net

I just check the .doc file on my jetBook color and it works find.

For further help, you can contact tech support at suport@ectaco.com or 718-728-3605.

One of the main reasons for buying a larger format ereader, like the JBC, is the inherent advantage for
viewing a fixed size PDF, such as a scan of a magazine. For a simple text based novel, you would want
to use the text reflow function of the reader. Your ebook pdf reflows fine in the calibre ebook reader, so
the pdf should reflow if it is set to do so on your device.

Luck;
Ken
