Pocketbook 301 connectivity
Hey, I've got a couple of questions, would be great if someone could answer them, please:
1. WiFi - is it there or not? http://www.pocketbookreader.com site doesn't even mention it, while ERMatrix surely does - so what's the deal? 2. If it has WiFi - how does it work - I mean how can I use it? Can I download books from a shared folder on my computer? Can I browse internet with it? I've seen info about RSS channels - can I open those links and read it? |

So, basically what's the difference between PB 301 and 360? Apart from the screen size and G-sensor, or whatever it's called?

PB360 has detachable lid and IMHO better placed page turning buttons. Firmware is very very similar. |

Thanks kacir, how about listening to audiobooks - I can imagine I can do that, but will it allow me to resume listening after I've paused it in the middle of a file and turned the reader off?
I would go for Onyx Boox, if only I could browse internet with it normally, was a little bit cheaper and could read .tiff and .djvu files. I'm sorry I'm jumping from one thing to another, but it's a hard decision to make, as it will cost me a whooping 1/3 of my monthly salary, so you can imagine I want to make sure it will be THE ONE. |

Concerning RSS-feeds - you can download it from your RSS-reader through USB, and then read.
My collegues download news in the morning and read it in the underground. |
