nice looking device, where can I buy it in the states?

So far it's not available anywhere. The first batch was sold only to members of the-ebook.org forums. Second batch is expected to hit the shops "soon".

I suspect the keyboard lock will also lock the accelerometer so the standard "sleep" mode should be enough, not a full shut down.

Charbax, thank you very much for your video and interview.

I hope that the new PocketBook models will hit US soil very soon, meanwhile the good ole classic PocketBook301 is already here: please, visit www.pocketbookreader.com.

So far there's no new information on 302 and loved-by-all-360, but I'm going to upload new pictures and videos there today.

It seems that the PocketBooks deserve opening new and separate string, dedicated to them only, what do you think, folks?

Yaro,

Thanks a LOT for taking the time to come to MR...often people make promises and do not follow up on them...I think you will like it here these readers have a lot of things going for them, and ask around, I am pretty critical about these things.

I am really interested in not only the 360 details as they emerge, and of course the 302 but also the device that appears in the video in the upper right corner of the cabinet in the video...you know the one that Charbax was asking about before the reps decided to show the pre-production 302 device...fyi, the device appears in the video at 5:06...I guess that is a concept device? No matter so far the Pocketbook + Netronix team looks pretty impressive..,again THANKS!!

Thanks, Breck!
That was one of the concept devices, I can tell you later exactly which one. These folks in Ukraine have very strong creative potential and I won't be surprised when they bring 10"-plastic-screen-something to the CES this coming January...

wink-wink...we'll just keep that rumor to ourselves...hehehehe...then again such is why I have put Q1 2010 as my time frame for a new reader device or two...

Seriously, I have long held developers in Ukraine, as well as other former USSR countries, in high regard because for a long time they had to do a LOT more, creatively with access to fewer tools and on older gear...developers in Ireland are sort of the same way too. Lots of creativity as well as a very practical thought applied to their software.

302, nice. Screen a bit to glossy though.

Same reason I am really interested in the DR800 as my large format device...but a 360 is really cool in my POV...maybe once the 302's are in stock, Yaro can post some sample side by side shots of a 302 in it's natural state and one with a matte finish screen protector so we can all see the true difference...still I want my large display reader to be more on the size of the Plastic Logic 8.5"x11" device, and that is the actual screen size not the device size. That means a display with a diagonal measure of just under 14" and that really puts it into perspective.

Just added 302 and 360 pics to US PB-website, but nothing new so far, the same ones that you guys already saw in Andrey's posts. Maybe, a little bit easier to find Just in case: www.PocketBookReader.com
