Device: PocketBook 360, before it was Sony Reader, cassiopeia A-20
Thank you very much for your observations.

The more I hear about the device the more I like it.
Being able to use apps developed for 602 series is great. When combined with fabulous existing themes, it is better than I dared to hope. Softer buttons and same form factor make this very tempting.

Please tell us about the built-in browser.
Tell us if you can browse books from Calibre on your computer.
Please, make some printscreens or photos of PB360+. I am interested how the on-screen keyboard looks (for example when you type in URL in browser.

If you have camera that can make video (even cheap cameras nowadays can make video of youtube quality), please consider uploading video.

The most important question: Is the Doom installed by default? ;-))

How to enable that browsing the Calibre collection served by your PC:
1. Find out IP address of your PC. It will be something like 192.168.1.33
2. Connect PocketBook to the same network using Wifi.
3. start Calibre, go to Preferences, sharing over the net, and click Start Server.
4. Connect your PB360+ to WiFi network
5. Start browser on PB360+
6. type in URL address 192.168.1.33:8080 (or whatever IP address your computer has with :8080 at the end. You can set the port number in Calibre preferences. If you use port 80, you can just type IP address on your PB360+
7. Try to browse your collection and to open books, let us know how it works ;-)
