12 Days of Christmas

| by Deena | Dec 20, 2009 | Category: Events, From the Authors
3 comments, add yours!

jetbookliteDuring the 12 days of Christmas (December 25 through January 5) it will be our turn to give you a few gifts. Each day, we’ll have one or more free downloadable stories available from our great authors, such as Joely Sue Burkhart, Cindy Lynn Speer, Meredith Holmes, Angela Korra’ti, and Michael F. Stewart. In addition, those authors have joined together to provide one of you with an ebook reader, the jetBook lite, a 9 oz. powerhouse of reading, from ereader.com, loaded with Drollerie Press books.

All you have to do to win the reader is buy a book in our bookstore or register on the blog to download one of the free stories, any time between Dec. 25 at midnight until Jan 5 at midnight US Eastern time. Every download and purchase counts as one entry for the entire 12 days (no more than one download per person per available story). The drawing is open to readers worldwide (void where prohibited), and the drawing will be held on the 6th of January.

And if you’re still shopping for the avid reader, don’t forget that we offer gift certificates in the bookstore, and customizable gift pages with the book of your choice in the download format of your choice. Check out the page on Holiday Giving for more information.

  • Five-inch, state-of-the-art VGA resolution screen. Reflective monochrome TFT, which uses ambient light and updates faster and without the annoying “flash” of e-ink displays.
  • eReader PDB (encrypted and unencrypted) and these unencrypted formats: ePub, Mobi, PRC, RTF, .txt, .pdf, .fb2, .jpg, .gif, .png, and .bmp file format support
  • Supports all DRM and non-drm books from ereader.com
  • Pocket-sized portability; thousands of eBooks
  • Supports eBooks in over 28 languages!
  • Bidirectional dictionaries for certain European languages (incl. German and Spanish) are available
  • Pre-loaded CIA World Factbook
  • Bookmarks, auto page turn, adjustable font type and size
  • Screen rotation for both portrait & landscape modes
  • SD card slot
  • Batteries 4xAA (rechargeable AA’s can be used as well)

Lightweight and super-portable, ECTACO jetBook Lite is the ultimate pocket library. Capable of storing thousands of books in the world’s most popular languages, plus music and picture files, it is a universal mobile library for professional, business and leisure reading. With an easy to scan high-resolution 5-inch display and a viewing angle close to 180°, it is fully customizable. Even readers who have difficulty seeing print books will benefit from its adjustable text size and font face. And weighing in at only 9 ounces, this handy device fits perfectly into the palm of your hand.

When reading, jetBook Lite allows text to be searched and cross-referenced using bookmarks which makes it an excellent choice of format for dictionaries and other reference books. Readers can begin reading as soon as they download a book without needing to visit a bookstore ever again. And ECTACO jetBook Lite is eco-friendly too, because it doesn’t consume the paper, ink, or other resources that are used to produce printed books. Moreover, eBooks downloads are always less expensive than the same books on paper; with hundreds of thousand available online for free!

To help you get started, jetBook Lite comes pre-loaded with the CIA World Factbook to make every trip you take more informative and enjoyable. The CIA World Factbook is one of the best geographic resources in the world. It includes comprehensive geographic, economic and political information for over 270 countries.

Large Screen

jetBook Lite uses a huge, state-of-the-art 5-inch VGA reflective monochrome TFT screen to provide readers with an easily viewed display that is easy on the eyes. This revolutionary display reflects light without the need for backlighting, which tires the eyes when reading for long periods. jetBook Lite can be used anywhere – in the bright midday sun or the subdued lighting at home.

A Whole Library In Just 9 oz.

Weighing an easy- to-carry 9 oz., jetBook Lite is one of the lightest eBook readers in the world. Slimmer than even a standard paperback, it easily fits in the palm of your hand for an incredibly comfortable reading experience. The built-in flash memory allows you to store your favorite books to read whenever and wherever you like. An SD slot accepts interchangeable SD cards (purchased separately) of up to 32 GB in size so that you can increase your portable library almost without limit.

Multilingual Support

jetBook Lite comes complete with its own collection of books pre-installed so you will already have a head start on building your new library. Allowing you to quickly and easily download and add content from different sources, jetBook Lite displays .txt, .pdf and .fb2 files as well as .jpg. It is also able to display books in a number of the world’s most popular languages including Albanian, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faeroese, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Icelandic, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Croatian, Czech, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian and other European languages! In addition, use jetBook Lite to study a new language or communicate while traveling with ECTACO translating Dictionaries. What’s more, jetBook Lite is the world’s only eBook Reader that includes a German interface option as standard!

Designed For Comfort

jetBook Lite is the most comfortable ‘book’ you will ever own. Not only is it smaller and lighter than a standard paperback, it also offers numerous different ways for you to read its content. With control buttons located on both its side and face for instant access to all of its advanced features, support for ‘portrait’ and ‘landscape’ display modes, adjustable font and type size and a viewing angle that lets you set the book down and still be able to read it, it is truly the world’s most easy to read book.

T9 Text Input

jetBook Lite uses the advanced T9 text input method that refers back to its pre-installed dictionaries to complete words as you type them. The comfortable alphanumeric keypad familiar from mobile phones makes entering the word you want quick, easy and accurate.

Bookmarks and Auto Page-turn Functionality

jetBook Lite makes it easy to add bookmarks and find the pages you need instantly. An advanced auto page-turning function makes reading an effortless experience. Set the auto turn to your average reading speed and simply sit back and enjoy your book. Of course you can always switch the page-turning feature off and ‘turn’ the pages manually as you like.

More than Just a Good Book

jetBook Lite incorporates SD Card expandability (cards available separately) in addition to the built-in 100 MB flash memory so that you can easily store not only a complete library but your favorite music files and pictures too. With its USB mass storage capability, simply connect the jetBook Lite to your PC with a USB cable and add new content or backup what you already have on the device instantly. jetBook Lite displays .jpg, .gif, .png, .bmp formatted images.

Adjustable Typeface and Size

jetBook Lite features a choice of 6 different font sizes and several popular typefaces so that you can customize your reading experience. Even those who have difficulty reading a conventional book will find it easy and enjoyable to read with jetBook Lite.

Screen Rotation Support

jetBook Lite offers a choice of ‘landscape’ and ‘portrait’ screen display orientation so that you can use your eBook in the manner you find most comfortable and most suitable to the text you are reading.

Battery

In order to make the jetBook Lite as affordable for you as possible, ECTACO selected ordinary 4XAA batteries to power the device. A new set supplies you with over 23 hours of continuous, active use. That’s enough for even the longest plane journey. Ordinary rechargeable batteries, of course, can be used as well.
