With these fonts both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets look absolutely fantastic.


A joy for the eyes. Try it out. Cheers!
And I've added this font (as well as Gentium) to my PB602 and I love it. Really cool! Gentium, not a fan really.

But thanks to all for suggesting them.

I am delighted that you like them. They look ok on a computer screen, but they really look fantastic on the PB360. The Cantarell font family is also excellent.

IMNSHO, the typeface is *far* more important than any other parameter, (even screen type) in defining how pleasant (or not) it is to read on an ebook reader

Cheers!

love them too, though I thought I did not like serif fonts, whereas on the reader I quite enjoy them (Gentium is currently on).
Gosh, how I am enjoying the PB360: mighty mouse indeed!

Please tell us about the new firmware.
Is it using the same family of firmware as 602 ... 903 models?
Yeah... I can't sell PocketBooks to Europe anyway... Any other model, but not PB...
I didn't have a chance to play with the device itself, they are being shipped to me right now as we speak (so to say, write
I suppose there will be the same firmware, at least the look and feel as it was before on good ole' PB360

I already posted it on my website as the new product. Please, check PocketBook 360 PLUS.
It will be on the pre-order for 5-7 days more, I hope that on Monday, May 2, it should be already delivered to me and it will be available for shipping then.

hip hip hurrah! Does the PB360+ use the new Pearl Screen? On your website, you just mention this: "Display 5" E Ink® Vizplex" for the PB360+. I cannot wait now, luckily, I have just sold the Sony 350.

Is it necessary to pre-order the PB 360+? What would be the advantages? When will you actually have them in stock?

Thanks

Umm, I love the customizing options and formfactor of the PB360, I do Not want a touch screen, and still I would like the 'clicks' to be quieter. I know this is possible to do as Bookeen managed to reduce the 'click' on the 2nd version of the Gen3. It made it quieter when reading in bed. Not liking the loud clicking isn't the same as wanting a touch screen.

Thank you for quick answer.

Please do not forget, we are eagerly waiting for the first review. So, please, post comparison with the old model as soon as you get the chance to unpack the first unit. The firmware *must* be different, because old one doesn't support WiFi. Is the new firmware related to the 602 ... 903 model?

The firmware number is 15.4, so it is probably based on the firmware of the old models (and hopefully it is similar to that of the next firmware for the PB302).
