Fellball has posted his impressions in two different threads in the German forum:

I'll summarize his positions; sadly he did forget to make pictures, but I hope "Irgendjemand" makes up for this (wasn't a hands-on review promised?

)

At any rate, here's what he had to say, mostly about the IQ:

The Pocketbook IQ impressed him very much in spite of the lack of maturity of the firmware. In fact, it triggered the "impulse buy" feeling for him and his wife.
Said Pocketbook IQ can download Android apps through its browser and use them, so we can guess it's fine in that respect.
TTS was very well done for him... and again, it's available in the PBIQ.
He owns a matte 302, and the screen gave him a much better impression. He'd grab a 603 if he was looking for a device now.
He wasn't too interested in the large devices, as he considered them too big to read comfortably in a sofa. However, he was very impressed with their PDF rendering.
