The advent of e-Books and electronic readers means we can now drag our favorite travel books on trips without all that extra weight.

Similar to the Amazon Kindle, but more affordable ($80-$100 cheaper), the ECTACO jetBook is a lightweight e-Book reader that allows you to load up books in *.txt, *.pdf, *.fb2 and *.jpg file formats.

Features include:

  • Bookmarking capabilities
  • Auto-page turn functionality
  • Adjustable font and sizing
  • Screen rotation support for portrait and landscape viewing modes

It also provides already loaded language translation dictionaries in most European languages, Russian, Polish, English, and Spanish amongst others.

Built into the jetBook is an MP3 player that allows you to listen to music, audio books, and other audio files as well as an SD card slot for downloading pictures.

It runs on an internal Li-ion polymer battery that is charged via USB cable.

Price: $299.95 | BUY jetBook| BUY Accessories
