I didn't respond originally because I wasn't sure what readers would work with Tiger as I moved to Snow Leopard back in December, and computer memory is short. I suspect most other people here are in the same boat - Mac users are infamous for their early adoption, although I usually give it until Apple put out the X.x.1 update.

I've read that Photoshop CS has problems and I use this a lot. I don't want to spent an addition £900 on new photoshop software. As they seem to want me to update iPhoto etc as well I assume that that would have problems with Snow Leopard and I don't want to have to deal with that thank you.

What version of Photoshop are you running? I (very nervously) updated my 2006 iMac 17" from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard in one shot last December and it went surprisingly well. The only "loss" was an older HP printer that I wasn't sorry to say goodbye to. Technically the HP drivers were in the SL update, but print quality went down on an already marginal printer.
I did buy the $129 Tiger->Snow family pack disk set, because we were also updating DH's Mac Pro. We're running CS3 here, with no intentions of upgrading for another version or so, and have found no issues with it on Snow Leopard. DH's Mac Pro is used for commercial video editing, so it gets put through its paces. He was running a Leopard and a Snow Leopard partition for awhile just in case, and found Snow Leopard much faster and he had less software freezes. And it saved us having to buy him a new Mac Pro! So then I went and used the money we saved on a MacBook Pro,
and my daughter is happily using the iMac now.
It's been nice having us all on the same version for once.
Separate from the PB360 issue, you might want to partition your main drive and install Snow Leopard yourself and see if you like it. It really does give the early Intels a new lease on life.
Did PocketBook's site say that it was 10.4 compatible? I've got a Cybook Opus that is similar and it shows up as a USB drive in Snow Leopard, and I load books via Calibre to both the internal and external memory. Another option is probably to load books on a microSD card. My guess is that Calibre won't see the card if it is in the PB, since it can't see the PB. Calibre can use the Save to Disk menu to save directly to a card in a card reader, but you might have to check the PB documentation or ask here on what folder they need to be put in for the PB to "see" them.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
