New Forum for the Jetbook?
I know there is not a lot of traffic for it, at least not yet... and I know that there is going to be a reorg of the ebook reader forums.. but considering the fact that it is gotten a fair bit of reader attention, it might be nice to have a forum for the Jetbook.
Granted, this might be a little self serving since I just ordered one ![]() -- Bill |

That might be a good idea too. There are several other devices that don't get much traffic, so a single forum for all of them would probably be better than one for each. Its just at the current time, there really isn't a place for people who have a Jetbook to for questions. Admittedly, I am probably (through trial and error) probably becoming the expert, so this is not so much for me as it would be for others who bought one.

True, the only problem though is that the current location for the "Other Devices" would imply that it is only for devices which are not dedicated ebook readers. Certainly that was my interpretation.
Just a thought, but maybe the moderators should set a standard of 100 threads dedicated to a device for its own forum? Otherwise divide it into just the broadest categories of dedicated devices and other ![]() -- Bill |

Hmm. That is an excellent point.
Perhaps the "Legacy Devices" might do better named something like "Other Dedicated Devices" .... Forum structure is a pretty complex thing to figure out, and there's never a single "best" way to do it. I do know that Alex has some pretty significant changes in mind in this area, though I'm not entirely clear on what they're going to be. However, I do know that he's always interested in feedback on the topic, so I'm sure he'll be glad to see these ideas and comments. ![]() |

The jetBook really needs a better home on the forum. At present, even though it is a dedicated e-book reader, it is probably under portable devices -> other devices. However, this isn't working. Of the 36 threads with jetbook in the title, only one is in portable devices. At least half would be in a jetBook forum if there was one. Also, a search for jetbook returns 159 threads. Not all of these should be in a jetBook forum, but there do seem to be enough relevant threads. Note that a readius search returns 24 threads and starebook returns 129 threads. Either a jetBook forum or an Other forum under E-Book Devices that includes jetBook, STAReBOOK and Readius subforums would make sense to me. The advantage of an Other forum is that it provides a place holder for new devices, such as the Foxit eSlick. However, the jetBook may have outgrown the Other category.

I think it would be nice for jetBook people to have their own area in the forum as well as Bebook and Astak readers.
But I am not familiar with behind-the-scenes of forums so... Just wanting to show a vote of support. ![]() |

Follks... we (the moderators and Alex) know that you guys have asked about this. We have discussed it and it is part of Alex's re-org plan. He just hasn't decided on the best way to do it, or how he will make the changes.
Also, keep in mind, Alex has a full time job and this is his part time hobby. I am constantly amazed at how much he does get done. I know he has a long list of things he wants to do, most that people here have asked for. So, while something will happen, it won't be tomorrow. Stay tuned. BOb |
