A firmware update to add Adobe ADE to the firmware (which will give it the ability to read DRM-protected ePub and PDF files) is due to be released this month; personally I'd prefer to wait for that to see the light of day before recommending the PocketBook to a wider audience.
A well functioning Beta is already in our hands, so even if something catastrophic happens now, we will not be left without working solution for DRMed epub.

Great features have been promised for final version. We were told that the final version is at the moment being approved by Adobe. I know, I know ... . We should not rely on promises from a device manufacturer. I have been following development of PocketBook with keen interest for quite a long time and I DO trust this particular company.

I have been playing with PB 360 for a week and I am still discovering really cool features.
