Having read this and other threads on the Opus and PB 360, my question: any new information to add about these two? for example, has the PB 360 improved its ePub display, added fonts, or ? I'm trying to decide which to buy. If you're interested, here's the back story.

In May I bought and then returned the Cybook Opus, though I really liked it (my first ereader). Why? 1. the screen froze when disconnecting the devices from my computer (note: NOT a problem of "failure to eject device"); 2. the "soft reset" did not work, necessitating a hard reset every time; Bookeen support only replied once to my 5-6 emails, asking for the MN, S/N, Boo version, etc.

My next question WAS eventually answered by Bookeen: what's the difference between the old white Opus and the new colored shells? Answer, virtually none, ONCE THE long-promised firmware upgrade is available; otherwise, the colored shell's battery runs longer before recharging.

thanks for any help
