The Jetbook Mini is very light; it doesn’t strain your wrist even when you use it with one hand. Support for multi-language interface, including German, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, English, and German, allows non-English users to read books...

The 5-inch screen limits the number of lines you see per page. PDF is not natively supported; files have to be converted first using Calibre. But even if it does, we doubt if the small screen can display PDF files well. The device gives you 90 hours or...

The Ectaco Jetbook Mini came without much fanfare. It even seems that its existence has been kept under wraps for a while. Ectaco’s decision to release YouTube decision proves to be right. The device is currently out of stock on the Ectaco website. If...
