fb-reader for pocketbook sense

jane10021 · 01-07-2016, 05:57 AM

The battery of my beloved pocketbook 360 is almost dead and I can't get another one (bizar!) so I have to look for a new e-reader and I thought I could go for a pocketbook Sense.
On the 360 I always use the fb-reader. Is it possible to get the fb-reader for the Sense? And if so, where?
I know the Sense can read the fb2 format, but the fbreader is fantastic as everything in it is customizable. The adobe reader is worthless by comparison.
So
1. does anyone know how to get a new battery for the 360?
2. does anyone know how to get a good version of the fb2 reader on the Sense?

Thanks!
jane

I did some checking, because I have a Pocketbook 360 in perfect working condition and with a fine battery, one that I was attempting to do something with. (I can't say more, due to violating our Posting Guidelines.)

Here's a website that offers some helpful information:

On the right in drawing the accumulator of electronic books Pocketbook 360, 360+ and 360+ New, 301+. It also was installing in e-book readers Orsio. Marks on the battery H503456 1000 mAh HC T0076. Dimensions: 57 x 34 x 4.8 mm. The controller is located on the top part of the battery, but at the same time on an exit only two pins (plus and a minus). You can replace such battery on Nokia BL-6U, having removed a factory's socket with wires from the old battery and having soldered to the new battery. This battery is a bit less on capacity, but well approaches in the sizes NOKIA BL-4C. NOKIA BL-5C - on millimetre thicker than the native battery, but many users of electronic books Pocketbook 301 + successfully replaced accumulator H50345 with this model. At such replacement controller pin on batteries NOKIA, marked by an empty circle, remains not soldered.

Although the English is mangled, it appears that this is the battery inside our Pocketbook 360:

H503456 1000 mAh HC T0076

Dimensions: 57 x 34 x 4.8 mm

The battery in the Pocketbook 360 can (apparently) be replaced with the Nokia BL-6U, although it is a bit less in capacity.

Here's the website where I gathered my information:

You've gotten me very interested in this subject, and I'll do some further research.

Thanks!!, I'll look into that.
It would be so nice to keep my 360.
I did find the right battery on the internet (china), but only if I order 100 units. And that's a bit expensive.

I'm rather disappointed pocketbook hasn't got replacement batteries themselves - I mailed them. It should be part of the service.

I would be happiest with a new battery, so you've helped me already tremendously, but does anyone know the answer to the fb2-reader question?

There is no good version of fb-reader for the current PocketBook devices. If you by a Sense, Brucelee's fork of CoolReader (see thread in this forum) may be a good alternative for you. Everything is customizable there as well.

Thanks! I'll read the thread. I don't know how to install the CoolReader, but maybe it's explained in the thread.
