My PocketBook 360 arrived today from Germany. I was very lucky in that I was not asked to pay any Custom fees or VAT by the courier. The Euro 239 price did include a 19% German tax which I had paid to the vendor. I just expected to pay extra UK fees when it was delivered so I had a pleasant surprise.

I really like this little reader and I think the ergonomics on it are great.

I have a small problem with Adobe Digital Edition epubs in that there are only 3 different font sizes. The smallest one is too small and the other two are too large. Has anyone got any ideas to overcome this or perhaps suggest a suitable font that will be more acceptable. I have overcome the problem of page numbers appearing in the RH margin by increasing this to 15.0 pt in Calibre.

I did investigate FBReader but I eventually decided that was a no go. FRReader does not display any scene breaks and does not understand the blockquote tag. It even omitted a salutation because it was superceded by a blockquote. If anyone has any ideas on how to improve the formatting in FBR I would be pleased to hear - within correct XHTML guidelines if possible.
