As a brief comment: yes, you can easily unplug the speakers. Open the back (good luck with that, I guess you have heard that removing the back is a great pain.. but there are youtube videos by one of the sales person explaining how you can remove the back side with duck tape!!)... anyway, once you've opened the back you will immediately see where you can unplug the speakers. Good luck. (removing the back was for me one of the most annoying experiences... I handle all my electronic equipment with so much love and care that removing that back was to me like plain torture) |

It was very frustrating to open the back, as you said. I had to put it on the floor and press hard enough for it to open. |

yes, they are pluggable... at least those on mine 903 (which i presume is really the same as on the 902) are.

Review, I still have not found out how to unplug this. Do you unplug it to the direction of the headphones jack (horizontally) or towards the back cover (vertically)?

you unplug them parallel to the main board (wiggle a bit). and draw them horizontally towards the bottom/ headphone jack

Thank you very much, review. It was done as you said. The space is so small that I had to use 2 small flat-head screwdrivers to wiggle them out. Now I don't need the dummy headphone jack anymore. Since I bought this device mainly for reading, I can live without the speakers. I was waiting to see if they can fix it with the new firmwares or not. If not, I intended to cut the speakers' wires and solder them later on when someone finds a fix. Now it can easily be done by just plugging the connectors in. Finally, I found peace! |

New Truly Software Bug
I just found a truly software bug in 902 with firmware 2.0.4.
Open any pdf file, then open a dictionary inside of the pdf file. Next, with the dictionary still open, click "Next page" button. Then the device goes to next page and hangs with green LED on, and can only operate again with a hard reboot. Could someone help me test this out to confirm it, please? |

This software bug is not new in any way. It has been reported over and over again and is obviously very annoying. In fact, I'm not even sure if it is ONLY in Adobe but the dictionary support in adobe is generally pretty bad.
However, since I know you've been using djvu files: The dictionary in djvu files works excellent. However, I probably wouldn't go the long way and convert my pdf files to djvu files just to have dictionary support |

Notes in PB 902 FW 2.0.4 EURO
At reading pdf document while using pdfviewer choose from context menu "Note". Choose text, to be in notice and save.
Unfortunately note it is impossible see in main menu - menu "Notes". May I she see only if is reader connected as next disk. In directory "notes" are files e.g.: 1.htm + directory 1.files (inside is *.bmp file). Looks it, by way it reader saved in format "save as: web page-complet". At reading pdf document while using AdobeViewer, notes is visible from main menu, but is visible whole page nor only selected text to be in notice. Last edited by marty63; 02-05-2011 at 12:45 PM.

When I login at http://www.zeit.de/angebote/audio/epaper in order to download the epub version of "die zeit" the browser always crashes.

I have some texts with marks under and over letters - as used in transliteration of Sanskrit. Examples are ṣ and ā. These are perfectly clear in pdf and html on the computer but are not available on the PB360.
Could you please include this type of coding - it is part of Utf-8. |

try one of those fonts http://www.sil.org/computing/catalog...=cat&name=Font have a look at Gentium first. Also try installing this font http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DejaVu_fonts You can install the font by naming it with a .ttf suffix (if it doesn't already have such name and copying it into X:\system\font directory you see when you connect reader to computer. X: is whatever letter computer assigns to your reader. |

Thanks kacir. Both Gentium and DejaVu work very well.
PocketBook360 does a really good job - even with the version 14.xx I've not found a problem. |

I have had a problem with the Table of Contents and the PB360. I converted a very large pdf with Mobipocket Creator and it did a very good job. However when I do a table of contents on the headers (h1 and h2) the table displays OK but there is a slippage of 3 or 4 pages - so for example if XXXXX is on p 384 on the toc it is really on 388. Is there a bug on calculating the page numbers? I checked the html and the headers are in the correct places.
