Have had my new 360 plus for a few days..... Dark Blue.... and had read Justy's review along with all the other comments and whatnot about the new 360 plus and was pleasantly surprised at the softer sound of the wing/mouse buttons, the screen though Vizaplez is excellent with the right Font...i.e... Arial Narrow bold, Universal125 bold, Switzerland Narrow Bold...... The Fb180 runs well and the screen turns are much faster then the my old 360.... the 530 Samsung engine does enhance the reading experience.

Read all 22 pages of The new CoolReader Engine thread and spent ages finally getting it to work..and it is a huge improvement over the old Coolreader...Well done to all who work on it...

Skins: still playing with the old and some of the new PB360 skins..but have yet to settle on a favorite.

Key choices: wish you could have one of the wing buttons or the D button do a long push to jump back to the Main menu...but other than that... Pocketbook did a good job on improving the 360.... alas a Pearl Screen would have helped sales... but for me not as important as it used to be...have a 350 with Pearl and a Opus with Vizaplex....and with the choice of fonts and font sizes on the Opus and the 360....which for me is more important.... I'll live with the Vizaplex for now....

Long live the 5-inch readers....

@Justy: Ta for the excellent review on your Blog

@Pocketbookers: Cheers for all the input for making this a much better reading experience.....here's to hoping my new PB will last longer than my last one...
