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, a ar 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.)
Ta. ftjorres for the post. I was reading up on it on the MR wiki... I do think CR 3.0 is a touch better but you are correct more or less the same. I just wish that fb 180 could reverse the grey background/black font - black background/ white font.. as my V5 does..I use this feature from time to time..

Sorry to digress the thread...
