Comments on: Jetbook Update coming April 2nd http://www.techusers.org/2009/03/28/152/ Tech from an e-booker's point of view Thu, 24 Sep 2009 13:07:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Lorenz Gude http://www.techusers.org/2009/03/28/152/comment-page-1/#comment-6318 Lorenz Gude Wed, 19 Aug 2009 15:58:34 +0000 http://www.techusers.org/?p=152#comment-6318 That Jetbook looks like it is worth a look. I'm interested in the 10 inch Asus tablet with capacitive touch screen. It wont be clear how it will work out until we see it shipped with Windows 7. My 13 inch HP tx1000 resistive touch tablet is a but too heavy for comfortable reading and the resistive touch is just clumsy enough to be distracting. Then there is the possibility that the rumored Apple tablet may be brilliant and worth waiting for or too restrictive or even non existent. I didn't any readers in Hong Kng in 2008, and will be flying diredtly from Perth to LAX this time - so I will be observing the US market closely. I now have an iPhone Touch and use Sigil to format books to read in Stanza. That works well. Still a bit small for a reading screen but formatted well. It is quihk and easy to export a PDF to HTML, then run it through Sigil and then put it into Stanza. That Jetbook looks like it is worth a look.
