ECTACO has released an ebook reader called jetBook:

jetBook is an incredibly sophisticated e-book reader with a built-in mp3 player that allows users to listen to AudioBooks as well as keep up with their reading. Preloaded with translating dictionaries, you can simultaneously enjoy a good book, improve your vocabulary by looking up and translating any words you want, listen to your favorite audio files and check out photos -- all in the same device! With an incredibly simple to read, large 5-inch, high-resolution display that is easy on the eyes, users can now read for hours without the eyestrain that comes from ordinary computer screens. And those with trouble reading normal-sized print books will benefit from the different fonts and sizes you can change to instantly. Weighing in at a remarkable 7 ounces, the super-slim device fits easily in the palm of your hand for a truly comfortable reading experience.

Lightweight and super-portable, ECTACO jetBook 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 7,5 ounces, this handy device fits perfectly into the palm of your hand.
When reading, jetBook allows text to be searched and cross-referenced using bookmarks which makes it an excellent choice of format for dictionaries and other reference books. And any text benefits from the pre-loaded English <-> Russian, English <-> Polish, and English explanatory dictionaries that allow you to select any word for translation to help build your foreign language vocabulary.
Readers can begin reading as soon as they download a book without needing to visit a bookstore ever again. And ECTACO jetBook is eco-friendly too, because it doesn’t consume the paper, ink, or other resources that are used to produce printed books. In addition, e-books are almost always cheaper than the same books on paper, with thousands available online absolutely free!

ECTACO, Inc. President and CEO David Lubinitsky recently announced
that, "The new jetBook now makes it possible to carry around a complete
library -- from novels to technical documents, even children's books and
poetry. This completely amazing device lets you sit down and read more
comfortably than ever before. It really is the book of the future and fully
eco-friendly. Not a single tree was cut down to make it!"

resources now available online. Just download and choose what you want,
whenever you want it!
