As standard you also get a wall charger, a USB cable to connect it to your laptop, and more importantly a two year guarantee.
The original model does only one thing, i.e. it is an e-reader (no radio, no TTS), but it does it very very well. In addition, depending on which part of the world you are the new Pocketbook Plus has also wireless connection.
The ways you can customise it are so plentyful that it may be easiest for you to have a look at the review:
- for the original model
- for the new "Plus" model.
The Plus is currently on sale at $113, which is a steal - this is for Canada, US and Mexico only, but apparently they can be sent anywhere in the world by using the services companies like those in this message.
The user interface can be changed by installing one of the many themes: I simply love " Sheeps", but in the link above there are many more.
In addition to the standard reading software there are various other ports: Coolreader, a hacked version of Adobeviewer (so that CSS settings are preserved), and various well made applications like (chess, plus many more available here).
Sorry, but I cannot help being enthusiastic about it -at any rate, once you get a few brands in this post, if I were you I would go ask directly in the various dedicated forums, so you can get more views and perspectives. |
The Sheep are very cute, I quite like them. The Pocketbook 360 has always seemed like a really neat reader to me, and I've always wanted the chance to check one out. I'm glad that you are enjoying yours so much.
