new 5" from Pocketbook coming soon?
so Nate says:
http://www.the-digital-reader.com/20...comment-162144 because of the button, though, it looks not much smaller than a 6" like the Kobo Glo (which is just about the size of a Pocketbook 360) - I think a 5" should be more portable than that. |

a mystery, really - I could live without the SD card and the WIFI (though one wonders why they are going backwards), as the firmware is so good, but it does look too large to me. And as most people don't expect to read pdf files on it (on which the pocketbook firmware performs extremely well), I wonder how successful it is going to be. For the moment, I am quite disappointed.

just seen the announcement on the Russian Pocketbook page:
http://www.pocketbook-int.com/ru/new...go-nastroeniya based on google translate, the internal card will have 4GB, and there will be some sort of thin cover, perhaps like the PB360, but sold separately. Screen does not seem to be Pearl. |
