considering the layout of the pocketpro i'm not that happy..i usually hold it with my right hand at the right side to read and i wish there was a bottom to flip pages rightabout where my thumb is...so these middle buttons on the left could have rather be on the right for me.

All in all i'm very happy but wondering how i would have felt with a pocketbook 360...

i still haven't found the "perfect" font and the converting of txt to epub doesn't go that well..a lot of line breaks and single words on one line and then on to the next (if you know what i mean).
maybe this is all a matter of setup in which i have no experience whatsoever..i read about recipes and other jargon which leaves me clueless.

my girlfriend wants an ebook now of course and i'm tending to recommend the sony 600 to her.. she needs it to study at the university of vienna and the will need the dictionary a lot. with the 600 she can select the word and the dictionary entry is displayed at the bottom.

can you give me tips about what font to use, how i can better convert txt to a more readable format and maybe even a different option that would be better for my girl.

As i said before, we live in Austria so a device with wireless (except wifi) is not nessesary.

Thanks,
sambucca
If you hold it with your right hand you should lay your forefinger on the edge of the case and operate the scroll wheel as your page turning device.

Fonts are personal but for you make sure that the fonts have any accented characters you need in them. You can't easily change the fonts used for ePUB however. Calibre is a great program to convert to ePUB or Sigil. Both have forums here at MobileRead.

Welcome to the forum.
