Reading
Reading is easy on a jetBook, thanks to its variable font zoom and crisp 5" TFT screen. There is virtually no eye fatigue, unlike viewing notes on a computer screen. With support for over 9 formats, you can find eBooks almost anywhere online. You can even create your own documents and load them instantly.
You can load and store thousands of books, class notes, and lesson plans on the jetBook K-12. It allows you to instantly bookmark pages, mark items to summarize, and even hear the book read to you through the built-in TTS (Text To Speech) engine.
Additionally, it has a cradle to stand the unit up and an Ectaco C-Pen scanner so you can scan text, upload it to the device and have it pronounced fluently, translated to any language, or even stored for later use. And the cradle doubles as a charger (the device can charge from any USB source, the cradle being one).
