Its a longish review but I find parts of it vague and confusing. It seems like you cant select or underline text when note taking? It also seems like the wireless is restricted to one site? That doesnt seem very attractive for international users! I guess we really need a video review. Maybe we'll get one from the CES 2010 event.

After reading the article I think part of the issue might be the Google translation rather than a vague review. I'm sure the Russian version was quite clear.

Unlike a person familiar with both languages a computer program doesn't do so well with nuances of language and I think that is what happened here. So yes, hopefully at CES next week there will be lots of reviewers posting in lots of places in languages they are fluent in. That should satisfy everybody's curiosity. Or at least raise a bunch of new questions...

PB is expected to be available in USA in mid-Feb. But there will be lots of reviews on CES, of course.

Excellent. I'm really looking froward to it, as I'm sure are many others

Yeah, very much looking forward to this myself.

After discarding the txtr, I think about getting myself a PB 302. So I am quite curious about any tests.

Nate posted a couple of pictures of the 302 in this thread.

The screen looks very reflective compared to the Sony Touch 600!

Was that a production unit at CES?

fjtorres · 01-12-2010, 04:51 PM

Actually, the reflections are from the plexiglass holder.
Look again; they extend above the reader in the landscape picture.

Yar-PocketBooker · 01-12-2010, 10:39 PM

the reflective screen will be replaced very soon to normal, non-reflective.

Will we be able to see a video demo of the new screen and when? I'm really keen to buy an eReader now as I have been holding off for a while (too long really).

I'm down to the 302 and the Sony Touch 600. I'd like it to be the 302 but it wont be if the glare is like it is in that picture

I've been waiting patiently for weeks on the reviews coming out of CES and now its 3 days after and I've yet to see anything other than those pictures.

Is the 302 really going to be out in mid February with a new non-reflective screen?
