I am interested in how well the Pocketbook 360 works out as a device I can slip into a pant pocket. It has the advantage of a hardshell integrated screen cover that just slides off then attaches to the rear where it's out of the way. Given that is it's shorter than a Sony Pocket Edition, but I believe thicker due to the cover, it might work a bit better for some pockets but certainly better than the Sony PE with an add-on cover.

Boy, won't it be nice when flexible panels are the norm? Now when will we see that revived version of the Readius?!!!
