It also uses an IR Sensor (like the GlowLight 3) so it should have the clearer screen (like the GL3).

It looks like it will probably cost about twice as much as the GL3 but it does have a headphone jack for TTS and it takes a MicroSD card and it comes with 8 GBs of memory on board.

I don't know anything about Pocketbook's build quality.

Here's the news blurb on GoodEReader ...

Here's PocketBook's English page on this one ...

According to the site (above) it also supports mobi and has "soft touch" material.
Thanks for that. That Pocketbook design is pretty ugly, but it sounds like a nice device otherwise. Though I'll likely just stick to my Aura. The GL3 is much nicer hardware, but the Aura is good enough.
