I've heard it's supposed to be really good. From what I understand, the hardware is a clone of the Pandigital Novel (white model) but Pocketbook is known for their excellent firmware and software. As such, the functionality as an ebook reader is expected to be very good. I don't know how it will perform as a tablet PC, though. Presumably, since the hardware is the same as the Pandigital Novel, you should be able to "hack" it and use it more as a tablet than an ebook reader if that's what you want. There is a very active community on turning the Pandigital Novel into an Android tablet. I would assume that the same can be done to the Pocketbook IQ. Having all this stated, I think that the majority of the buyers of the the Pocketbook IQ will want to use it primarily as an ebook reader and will see the tablet features as a nifty add-on to have. I don't have any more information about it right now. I could not find any detailed reviews on it anywhere.
