As the title says, Newegg is now offering the original jetBook for $72.95.

Both my wife and I rely on our Jetbook's so we decided it was a good time to stock up a couple.
It looks like Newegg has the jetBook Lite for $56, as well:

Welcome back, Bill! Where have you been?
Great to see you too, Ken!
Lurking mostly, when they stuck us Jetbooks down in the bottom of the list it kind of ticked me off. About the same time I got a PM asking me to change my sig to meet their new guidlines. So although I was tempted to call a couple of spades spades I decided discretion was the better part of valor and drifted off.
I can always be reached at
billj69@gmail.com.
Mostly waiting to see where this whole digital thing is going. I love my Jetbook, can't imagine needing color or touchscreen. Really have not seen anything better at a reasonable price point.
I really can not believe how many people are so willing to let themselves get tied to a proprietary device where they become a cash cow for the owner. There is no point in trying to argue with those folks, or trying to discuss anything with them.
If that makes me a goat, well I guess I'm one mean free Billy Goat.
Same here, there is not much comment on a device that is good enough to meet the
needs of those who use it. No one to help so just lurking.

I had bought the wife one of these the other year. I got one for myself from Newegg the other month. Just updated the firmware on hers using the instructions I found here.
