[Nate the great]

I just posted part one of my review over on my blog. I even shot a short video (my first). I've covered the PB302 before (here and here). Here are the highlights:

Reading software
It’s using Adobe Reader Mobile and FBReader. It appears to have full feature support for FBReader, and the only Adobe RM feature it lacks is annotation by drawing. I found it very usable. Screen refresh is slightly faster than the Nook. Since we know the Nook has one of the latest generation Marvell chips, I’d say that the PB302 comes out ahead in this comparison. I’m quite happy with it as a reader.

General Impressions
The touchscreen is highly reflective (I’m told they’re working on it). Even so, I’m satisfied with the PB 302 as a reader. It meets my minimum requirements: sleep mode, adequate format support, & one handed operation. I’ve gone though most of its abilities and I can’t find any shortcomings.

Extra Features
With the 302, you have the option of installing your own apps. It comes with about a dozen apps installed: games, dictionary, clock, sketchpad, web browser, RSS feed reader. It was the browser and RSS reader that originally caught my eye. Both of them work rather well.

I wish it had an email client, though.
