Link: ECTACO's jetBook reader will purportedly change your life - Engadget.
A serious competitor to the Amazon Kindle has emerged from ECTACO. The JetBook looks a lot like the Kindle, down to the buttons on the side, and has a 5 inch paper-like screen. Will it, as the author posits, make books obsolete? Well, let's just say that the nation's forests still aren't safe. Just as newspapers and magazines are becoming partners with the Internet, I suspect that having a book in your hand will always be a part of a satisfying life experience. On the other hand, when was the last time you sat in your library doing legal research in books?

The tablet PC never made it into mainstream. But via this kind of devices similar things may become affordable and useable. Excellent news.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't get the appeal of the eBook readers. I stare at enough screens all day. "Curling up with a good screen" just doesn't have the same effect.
