Oh, the PB360 has full Adobe kool-aid support; a decent enough implemenation, too, with dictionary, search, links that work, etc.
But the consensus among us PB360 owners is that for DRM-free reading, the Pocketbook platform's implementation of FBReader is head and shoulders above any ADE out there.
For details, check this:

The thing is, like the PB360 itself, almost totally configurable to the reader's specs. There are 19 separate top-level customization settings, beyond the ability to use any TrueType/Opentype font at prety much any font size. One of those top-level settings leads to a custom style-sheet function that lets you define another 37 settings, *each* getting 14 parameters or so.
Not to say to say it is perfect (proper Chapter breaks are only detected/implemented for ePub--most defiitely *NOT* for RTF) and it does lack some of the features of Coolreader on, say, the Hanlins, but it is (like the PB360 itself) rock solid stable and getting better fast. (Plus, turning pages by flicking the reader is kinda cool.)
The good news is that the PB360 lets you set the default reader app so a single button press will open it with the reader app of *your* choice and a long-press opens up a file management menu that allows among any other things, opening it with the alternate reader.
So, basically, if you want your reading display parameters defined by somebody else, you can use ADE. Or if you want it *your* way, you use FBReader.
Most of us seem to prefer FBReader.
(One of these days somebody ought to run a poll.)
