Andrey, thank you for your swift answer. Could you tell us a bit more about the note taking feature? You mentioned a virtual keyboard - will you provide a stylus for input that would also provide features such as underlining or marking text? do you have English and/or German firmware at this point in time? (That would be imortant to know for people who might consider ordering it directly from Ukraine) When do you plan to release the 302 in Germany?
thanks in advance |

The firmware of the 360 supports German, English, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Russian and Hebrew, so I assume the 302 will at least support them as well.
There's no stylus, input is done by a virtual keyboard. I've go to take a look if highlighting text is possible. |

Hm, I was planning on buying the Booken Opus, but the 360 looks sweet. Is
there folder support? I like being able to categorize my books. Somebody also mentioned a cover being available, but I didn't see one listed in the product description. Will this be a separate accessory? Thanks! |

You can see some pictures of the cover in this thread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48794
The text is in German though. Amy |

Hi Andrey,
I am completely taken with the ergonomics/design of the 360...but not the price. I love the cover. Given the current pricing of competing 5" devices what makes the 360 worth about US$100 more than a Sony PRS-300? Even the Astak 5" device, if you stick with black (or white if I you have to), are acceptable but only if their price drops to about US$150 from the current US$199. For me I would find the 360 worth the US$300 price only if it had 3G, WiFi and a touch interface....but then there is the new iRex device with a Wacom touch interface that does not affect display contrast or clarity for about $399 and I expect that to drop sooner rather then later....for me it is a possible next reader. Sooooo, I guess my question is, can you give us an idea if a more advanced 360 might be possible in the future. And I will say as much as I feel the current 360 is the perfect device design, it's US$100+ over what I feel a 5" reader should be given the competition. There is another 5" reader that I sort of like as well, but forget it at this moment. I really WANT your device as my small format reader...just as soon as the price is firmer (and it has to be a LOT lower) and the 360 has a bit of a history of well functioning production devices shipping out to customers. |

That is to show the folder names, and they book with the title, author's name and series, and these three Characteristics, as well as on the date of the book can be sorted into folders. Folders also reap sort by name and date. |

for sale?
Is it offically forsale to US customers? Through an online store of some sort?
I have to agree I think the price is high, but it looks like an awesome device! Amy |

I can guess that the price for the US marker can be lower than for Ukrainian market (at least, we have about 20% TAX, and you do not have it), so it is the possibility to lower the price to at least 240$.

wow, a 20% tax...that is a bunch. I really want this reader if it lives up to expectations. And even $240 is a bit more than I want to spend for my small format reader and just knowing what I know so far I think spending $299 for a Sony 600 with a touch display might be a better value. But that is where the reviews come into play...and time in the hands of buyers.
Has a US distributor and reseller been named yet? I know it all takes time and I am not in a rush to buy anything yet. |

It seems you'll soon be able to buy PB360 in North America:
