The PB 360 is capable of 16 shades. Its uses 16 for showing images. It only uses 4 for text.

The 5 inch display has a higher DPI than the 6" so text is clearer on the 360 than on the Nook.

Nooks wifi will allow you to connect with the B&N store through your wifi at home or from any ATT hotspot. It also allows you to read books while in a B&N store. I believe its hacked to allow some browsing but I am not current on the state of the hacks.

PB 360 has wider format support, wider language support and better firmware. The user community is also making it better all the time. Its also smaller, with that nifty cover that makes it easy to carry with you.

B&N's epub has its own drm flavor. You have to buy drm'd books from them.

PocketBook supports standard Adobe DRM which allows you a much greater choice of bookstores when buying DRM'd epub format.

The nook wifi is 328grams

PocketBook 360 is 180grams
