If you think the Sony Digital Book or Amazon Kindle which cost around 20000Rs is a big investment because at this price you can buy mini laptops which offer you with everything, but iam sure they wont be able to offer you the handy small sized ebook reader functionality because you can travel with these easily and also carry while you moving around easily. In order to overcome this cost issues and still settle for a eBook reader, check out the JetBook Lite reader which costs around 150$ ie one third of the Kindle price and offers almost the same features.
The best part is that the JetBook Lite supports many file formats including the PDF files which can be easily transferred using SD cards as there is no wireless connectivity option , giving the techies a boring way to connect and transfer stuff. Overall a cheaper alternative to the Amazon Kindle in terms of price and decent features.
Sir,
Is it possible to buy the jetBook Lite here in India? How much will it cost and what will be the customs charges? Further, will it be possible to use the gadget here since we have different Volt of electricity being supplied compared to the USA. Finally, are AA batteries easily availlable?
Gautam, I am searching for about more than one year here for an ebook reader. But after going through all the details available I found that Kindle is one of the best available. You can order kindle on amazon and they will deliver it in india. The only pain is the custom duty which costs around $100, but still afordable.
I want to buy ebook reader. I want to know is it available in Mumbai (Maharashtra) & what will be price?
Amit thank you for your mail update. i have read this article and i have a conflict with you over the opinion of jetbook lite having less prices than kindle. Let me tell you that Kindle has waived off their price to $189 than $289 and also there is a big difference between the specifications of both of the item. for example jetbooklite comes with 5″ screen however, kindle comes with 6.3″ screen.
I think I should suggest the readers of this article to go for kindle dx even rather than kindle mini. Because it has a very big screen of 9.7″ which gives you a feel of real book.
also let me tell you that ebook reader is going to me a device of old days as the Marvell technologies has launched their more than ipad device for $99. search google for marvel tablet moby you will find the results.
is this company has any showroom in india ….wher we can buy it and check out all the details …. primarily in noida and delhi
