If you were happy with the Sony 350's 5" screen, then the updated PB360+ might be a good option for you. IMO, the snap-on cover's integration with the reader provides more structural integrity. That said, you'll still find reports of broken screens in the PocketBook forum. Because glass is always going to be fragile, particularly with larger screen sizes, I am eagerly awaiting the switch from glass to plastic, as discussed in Charbax's interview with the vice president of Eink (see News forum).
