I agree, by the way, that the "wing" buttons are horrible. I turn pages with the 5-way nav control.
As always: Everything depends on your demands.
No doubt, it has tons of features.
But quite frankly, most of them I'll never use. For example, I very much prefer highlighting or searching on a touchscreen unit.
So I'll mainly use PocketBook 360 for "casual reads". And in that area, I guess, benefits compared to Cybook Opus are slim.

Still, I'll choose PocketBook 360 over Cybook Opus. Since the firmware update on Opus (which brought lots of advantages of course) I simply hate the library view: Filenames instead of metadata? What the.....?
