jetBook ebook readers > jetBook Mini ebook reader

At a Glance

The jetBook Mini is a capable, but inexpensive eBook Reader. Its 5" TFT screen allows you to read ebooks for up to 90 hours without charging the batteries. Its small size means ultra portability, and it's easy to use. Weighs only 5.8 ounces.

Why Buy

90 hours continuous reading time, on a single charge.

When price-comparing to the Kindle, don't forget that the Kindle's $19.95 monthly fee adds up to $239.40 a year. This is a cost you do not have in the jetBook, jetBookLITE, or jetBookMINI, which read more file formats than competing products such as the Kindle.

Tweaking energy consumption to its absolute minimum, the jetBook mini now runs on 4 AAA batteries (Energizer batteries included) and lasts up to 90 hours of continuous reading and 2 years in standby mode! It boasts the signature 5" TFT screen but weighs only 5.8 ounces, making it the lightest eReader ever. New features include all-way reading angles for righties and lefties, multi-language interface options, line spacing, built-in clock, adjustable font sizes, and line breaks. As the most affordable e book reader in the world, it makes as a perfect gift for you and your loved ones!

Single V 10-pack

We have single-unit pricing for quantities up to 10. At the 10-pack pricing, the savings are significant.

If you're buying a 10-pack and want, say, 16 units, then you can use the dropdown menu to select the number of additional single units.

But what if you want to order more than 19 units? To do that, first enter (type in) the number of 10s you will order then above that select (from the dropdown menu) the number of singles you will order. So, for 47 units you would change the qty of 10-packs to 4 and then select 7 additional units from the dropdown menu.

  • We want to offer these to schools, churches, and other organizations that place bulk orders.
  • We want to offer these at the lowest possible price. You're looking at it!
