PocketBook 360.
If PocketBook released a new version of PB360 with built-in light (and without the screw-ups that are in new versions of firmware for newer models) I would pay 200 Euro for it without hesitation.
I paid 275 Eur for the original PB360 at the time, and it was one of my best purchases ever.
Like fjtores said, it might have been PocketBook at its best. I do not understand why nobody else (not even PocketBooḱ!) is willing to release a pocket friendly reader with integrated lid.
Also, it had fantastic software with very high number of customization options.
When I was visiting USA two and a half years ago I almost bought Kobo Mini. I liked the pocket size.
I wanted to buy it at Best Buy, but first I wanted to see the software. The display unit kept asking to be connected to the net to be registered, refusing to do anything at all. NO, thank you. I was not willing to buy device that blackmails you register it.
I was looking forward to buying inkPhone but they screwed up badly. Their phones came with IMEI belonging to other manufacturers. I was even thinking about buying it even without phone functionality, but they only sold them for only a week.
Later I was looking at inkCase, but it looks like the Kickstarter campain can't deliver promised features. Besides, inkCase and inkPhone have too small displays.
So I am still looking for a pocketable reader with small dimensions, 5" front lit e-ink screen and a lid that doesn't add to the bulk of the device.
In the meanwhile I got inexpensive 5" Android phone as a "carry everywhere backup pocket reader".
