Hmm, that 301 doesn't appear to have a keypad or anything, so would I be unable to search text? The 360 looks very stylish; is 5" screen difficult to read compared to the 6"? What's the quality of the screen like; can I read it in the dark like the Kindle? It looks like it could just fit in to my pocket in everyday life, which would make it worthwhile in its own right (no more sitting about twiddling my thumbs waiting for the train/plane/whatever).
EDIT: It also costs around $300, which means it is in direct competition with every other reader, like the Sony 600. Why does it cost so much? It's smaller afterall. Seeing as both the Sony 600 and Pocketbook are unlocked devices, is there a webpage that lets me download the languages I want, and then upload them on to the device?
I'm starting to think that getting both Classical Greek and Chinese languages on the device is an unrealistic proposition, though. I guess I could survive with just English translations, and Chinese seems to be available, but the search text function is a pretty important point; I often remember a quote, and the text, but not the page. Therefore I need to either boot up my laptop and text search the document, or spend 20 minutes flicking through the book.
