I sure hope so.
I'm looking for a universal "hardcover" reader to supplement my go-everywhere PB360 "paperback" reader.
I'm willing to wait and I'm willing to experiment but I'm pretty sure I'm atypical in that.
Pocketbook has worked hard to build its reputation and credibility in the ebook reader space and this is a pretty critical time (the end of the beginning) and native software quality is Pocketbook's calling card. The IQ reader needs more than just one sans-serif font; it needs to integrate its dictionary support. Ideally you want to match the PB360 reading experience and let readers use an extensions file (or panel) in a unified bookshelf to centrally manage multiple reader apps for different file types. (Send Kindle azw to Kindle, DRM'ed epub to the native, app, etc). Lots of room to add value above the generic Android webpad floor.
The good news is the GIK obviously understand this; they implemented it in the eink readers, after all. :-)
I can wait.
I just fear that others won't be as patient.
(Off to try Kobo, next. And to verify where Aldiko puts its stuff.)
