 Why you like Pocketbook 360 more? I tested it on CES and I didn't find any reason why should I pay $200 for it. |
I love my Pocketbook so much! It's by far my favorite reader, over my Sony's, Kindles and now the JBL. It was the best impulse purchase I've made in a long time, because I was totally happy with my PRS-900 until I got the PB360.
The #1 biggest reason is FBreader. It lets me display my books the way I want. Exactly. I can fiddle with them down to the last detail. No more epubs with double spacing between the paragraphs. No irritating ADE page numbers.
The #2 reason is how customizable it is. You can install themes, games and dictionaries. I was having a hard time finding my books, because I have so many that I had to scroll through 37 pages of authors. But, I found a theme for that, that changes the display to get many more authors on a page. I also installed a Sudoku game that is quite elegantly done for something on e-ink. If I don't feel like reading but am in a waiting room needing to be entertained, it fits the bill perfectly.
And actually tied with #1, perhaps #1a is how light and comfortable it is. I can easily hold it with one hand for long stretches. I can flip it to any direction, so if my right hand is free I leave the controls on the right, but if my left hand is free I put them on the left. By default I like to use my left hand, so keep the unit set that way, technically upside-down. After getting used to the PB360 my PRS-900 feels like it weighs a ton and even the PRS-600 is too heavy.
PB360!
