I agree with you in two points:
1. PB360 is an excellent device. In my opinion it is still unsurpassed in terms of software features, configurability, ergonomy, and screen lid.
2. PocketBook company - the Ukrainian headquarters and German distributor DO have some faults ;-)

Last time I looked into this the situation was:
- PocketBook Europe will not sell PB360Plus before they manage to sell PB360 they have imported. Remember, back then they sold for 250Eur. This was after we complained here that USA distributors sell PB360+ cheaper in USA than the old model is sold here in EU.
- To sell remaining PB360 they pulled those from official sellers and were selling them on german ebay for 99Eur.

I have looked and I can't find PB360 on german ebay anymore.

You can consider one of numerous companies that will buy PB360 for you in USA and mail it to Europe. Sigh ...

I personally would try to contact PB representatives Forkosigan and Mtraveleth here to ask.

In the meanwhile, Sony T1 touch looks very, *very* interesting. Especially the fact it runs Android. I expect it will be rooted soon.
