No.
The PB360 runs pure Linux, the IQ runs Android which is a Java-type environment on top of a vestigial Linux. (How Java-like it is is currently being litigated.)
As far as I can tell nobody's porting Coolreader 3 to the Pocketbook readers.

As for options, are you running FBReader 180?
Coolreader only outguns it by its 2 column landscape mode. Otherwise they're comparable, as far as I can tell. FBreader seems to have a better text rendering engine for TrueType. (It might be the eInk vs LCD diffences, though. Some fonts that look great on the 360 look awful on the IQ. Fortunately, others look fine.)
