ECTACO, a company that manufactures and sells translation dictionaries and language software, have recently announced their new jetBook Lite Pocket eBook reader at the Frankfurt Book Fair. A lightweight and super-portable addition to a market dominated by Kindles and Barnes & Noble e-readers, the ECTACO jetBook is the ultimate pocket library for either the professional, business or leisure reader.

Weighing in at only 7.5 ounces, the new jetBook Lite Pocket eReader features a Toshiba 5-inch transflective monochrome display that has a high-resolution and 180 degrees viewing angle. On top of that, the display is also fully customizable, meaning that you can text size and font face is adjustable for those who need it.

The Ectaco jetBook Lite Pocket reader comes packed with 100MB of internal storage space but also adds an SD card slot for expansion in case that’s not enough for the thousands of books you had prepared. Although it fits perfectly into the palm of your hand, it also manages to hide four regular AA-size batteries for a maximum battery life of 23 hours.

Release date is around the door with prices close to $150.
