Other than its button placement (which is the issue under discussion) and its chassis material (which is more of an enhancement than an outright revolution), not so much.

By the way, PocketBook Ultra has buttons on the back. I couldn't get used to those when I was testing it for a review.

I know, and although it was considered to be an interesting experiment, it does not appear to be regarded by reviewers or competitors as a particularly successful one, and has not caught on. I'm not against experimentation, merely cautious as to buying into its results until they've been field-tested.

PocketBook 360° had G-sensor - so that the display would rotate. Just like many other readers, like Kindle Voyage, or the vast majority of phones/tablets.
Somebody modified its reading app and created FBReader 180. With FBReader 180 you could turn page by slightly tilting the device.

I know. I had one, and never could get that feature to work properly. It would have been handy too, as I found the page-turn buttons on it too large and stiff to be useful, so used the D-pad for page turning (to the extent that it eventually got to the stage that it squished rather than clicked because I'd used it so much). One feature of the 360° that I absolutely adored was the clip-on plastic case.
