Hi.
I have an opportunity to test PocketBook 302 for a couple of days. The device was lent to me by a very good friend that purchased it from PocketBook.

The display is nice. I suspect that somebody (perhaps a German distributor) has put a matte foil on display so it is not shiny. Touchscreen reacts very nicely to finger or stylus. Buttons are located very conveniently for me and I have a very good feeling when I am handling the device. I dislike fingerprints on the screen. (I will be more specific when I write a "proper" review.)

I am trying to connect to the wireless network I have at home so I can try out features that are different from my PocketBook 360.
It took me a little while to find device MAC address (on the About screen) so I could put the device on my WiFi router list of allowed MAC adresses.
I have selected WPA-PSK encryption according to the settings on my WiFi router and now I am trying to enter "network key".
The problem is, the keyboard that displays for entering the passkey is not a "touchscreen keyboard" but it looks exactly on-screen keyboard on my PocketBook 360. I can not figure out how to operate the keyboard. The device does nt have up, down, left, right keys that I use to operate this kind of keyboard on my PocketBook 360.

The same situation is when I go to the library, hold OK select File, Move to folder, select (Create Folder) and again I am presented with an on-screen keyboard that is identical to the one I have on PocketBook 360. I can not figure out how to use this keyboard. It does not react to touching the screen and device lacks keys to navigate it.

When I try to create a note, for example, I am presented with touchscreen keyboard where I simply touch the screen with a stylus or finger and I can write name of notebook or whatever.
