To buy or not to buy

Segal Michael · 07-17-2011, 05:19 AM

Hello!In next month I will visit US and I am looking to buy Pocketbook 902 Pro.The question is if the Pocketbook has support for Cyrillic.This is important to me because I like to read in Russian language.

Hi Michael, welcome to this forum!

Pocketbook is an Ukrainian company and it offers support for Cyrillic. The Pocketbook 902 will come with some Russian dictionaries, too.

I think, anyway, this problem can be solved installing the latest russian firmware.

Thank you very math for help.The only problem is that I have bad experience with Sony reader.I tried to put in new firmware but ...This is the reason that I asked if there is support for Cyrillic.Any way thank you,you really help me.Michael

Michael, I think in this case you must perhaps forget all your bad experiences with Sony and give it a new try. Pocketbook publishes new firmware versions "quite often".

Anyway, you're not forced to upgrade, if you don't want. Many owners of a PB still use version 2.04. But you have the possibility: there is a 2.05 and a 2.06 out and two alpha or beta versions 2.10 and 2.11.
