Although well known for their industry leading hand held electronic translators, Ecteco have decided their knowledge is transferable and entered the story book reader market, with their Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader.
Even though thecurrent trend is firmly towards E-ink screen technology, the ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader has turned its back on this and uses their own crisp,white screen, which does give this story book reader a clear (sorry about the pun) advantage over other makes currently on the market. Let me explain: E-ink, though very cutting edge, does get a lot of bad press from users as the page contrast is not high enough, due to the light gray background displaying text that is dark gray leading to problems with low light reading.
If this could cause you a problem maybe the Ectaco jb 5 jetbook e book reader would prove to be a more suitable story book reader. The reflective monochrome (black and white) screen results in a nice, white background, which in turn allows the text to be read far more easily.
