all I can say is if on the fence, you will likely be very happy in the long run with the PB360. From a design POV the 360 has that nice hard cover to pretty much eliminate the need for bulky "book cover" binder to protect your reader as you drag it around with you. A nice simple sleeve or pouch is a thing you can use w/o worry something is going to smash your panel when you have the PB360 cover in place.

I would say that the better choice is the device from Pocketbooks even though the Opus is a really nice device as well (same internal hardware). Given Harry has both devices, I would also ask for his observations between the two...my guess is it will boil down to personal preference as both brands leap-frog each other with firmware improvements.

Something to consider about Pocketbook's ADE stuff is they apparently did some things with the ADE API that kinda caught the attention of the folks at Adobe and impressed even them...given that sort of innovation, I have an idea that PB is set to make a large splash as the devices go viral among other things.
