Thanks to our member Charbax for bringing us this video coverage of the PocketBook 360 at IFA 2009.

This is a 5inch eInk based eBook reader device that, according to the video was just released to the public for sale at around $300 USD. The device is ergonomically shaped and has an accelerometer that allows you to turn it 360 degrees, hence the name I assume, to view follow this link:

There is also some bonus footage of the Pocketbook 302 which the video claims will be out around October with a touch screen, WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity. Their target price for this is around $400 USD.

Finally there is also a shot of a prototype of an 8inch screen sized reader they also have in the works.

There are certainly some exciting devices coming from Pocketbook this year.

Please join the discussion on this video and device already in progress at: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?p=582027
