- Might be, I was never able to lay my hands on one.
BTW, the Boox i62HD is HD and LG, but not flexible (AFAIK LG is the only company worldwide producing HD E-Ink screens)

Not for sale yet, only prototype
Maybe, but only for one week on the market, let's see
Definitely not, the display is worst I've ever seen on an e-reader, and this includes any Sipix like the OYO or the multitude of cheap LCD devices
For the early PB I can agree to everything kacir and Aceflor said, but I guess reality happened
They started with the 360 beeing new, fresh and underdogs but then someone realized there was big money to be made and took over. That was the end of "the former Pocketbook".
With the PRO series they tried to be a global player, but without the background needed for such an undertaking. They moved to Switzerland, did some serious reorganization in management and R&D and abandoned the 302 and IQ which were too expensive to support (sad but understandable from a management view).
Now we have PB V3: Concentrated on Europe and Russia/Ukraine, a basic and an advanced 6" model, the 9" because nobody else cares for this segment and 1 (2 in the future) tablets. Structures have changed from a bunch of geeks to an orderly medium sized company. This not beeing finished we have to endure all the downsides. Support is mediocre at best (except Forkosigan who is incredible, but you have to contact him personally), new FW development is slow (actually 611 and 622 is pretty good) and they already have new ideas
Regardless of all the internal problems I'll stick to PB until I find a device that has all the advantages in customization, format variety and library organization for large amounts of books and will recommend their products to everyone who will listen
