For what I can gather, these are the pros for the 360:
- Highly customizable
- Clip on cover
- More RAM
- More formats, according to the official specs.
Cons:
- Slightly bigger
- Maybe TOO customizable, i.e. too complicated
- Many reported crashes
If there is anyone that prefers the Opus, it would also be great to know why 
Thank you very much for your answers. |
I prefer Cybook Opus over PocketBook 360 in almost all aspects (there's a big "but" coming"):
- In my opinion, PocketBook 360 has a serious design flaw: The "butterfly buttons" are neither aesthetic nor ergonomic.
- Because of the "butterfly buttons", it's relatively wide, Opus in my opinion is more convenient to hold in one hand.
I could go on quite some time. Basically, I prefer Cybook Opus' design...
BUT: There's a phantastic modification of FBReader for PocketBook 360. You can turn pages, without using those ugly "butterfly buttons". Just briefly turn your wrist, then pages turn via auto-rotation. Works like a charm. And it perfectly makes sense: Usually, I only use 5" readers in "crowded places", for example on the train. Then it really is helpful, being able to hold the reader conveniently in one hand, without caring about the button placement. You can do this with Cybook Opus as well, but I find PocketBook 360 slightly more comfortable. Especially, when putting the reader in a bag, to protect from water, sand or suncream at the beach.
