360 Just got my PB360!

[deferredreward]

So, I finally took the plunge & chose an ebook reader. It's warming up on it's first 8-10 hour charge, I have lots of books ready to go for it - as well as some fonts, newer firmware, newer fbreader that I've found here. I'm sure I'll have to find a good theme too. Thanks to all! I've been messing with it while plugged in, so far so good - few questions though:
-Can you actually make notes on text, or just highlight lines & save them (I rarely take notes so, either way, whatever)?
-I don't seem to have the key combo for making a bookmark down...
-Other than Webster's 1913, are there any good dictionaries(English-English)? (free or otherwise, I'd be willing to pay for a really good dictionary)
-How do you do a double click with the power button, I can't get it to work at all?
-When I load books (4GB sdcard) should I organize them into folders on the card (with my PC)? What's a good way to do that - while using Calibre?
-Will Calibre send RSS feeds to the news folder?

1) You can just highlight lines.
2) There are other dictionaries of dubious copyright state which can be found in other forums. The Russian forum the-ebook.org might be of help.
3) When the light gets switched on with the first click, you click the second time. It takes a bit of practice.
4) If you manage the reader with Calibre, you'll see that Calibre will take care of creating the folder organisation. You do not have to touch the folders made by calibre... in fact, you should not, as one forum member has posted in his signature, "peek under its skirt".ç
5) Yes it does.

Thank you! Another quick question - are the 500 books on the PocketBook website formatted well enough to be worth my download & perusal?

[rogue_librarian]

Yes, they're generally among the best formatted you're likely to encounter.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your Pocketbook 360. I love mine!

I would also recommend the HUGE library right here on MobileRead. In my opinion, they are some of the best formatted books available - anywhere.

Oops, that's embarrassing. I actually mean to talk about this here library... I can't vouch for the PocketBook files, but the MR one is excellent. Thanks, Dr. Drib!

[deferredreward]

Ah! Ok, yes, I've got around 500 books from everybody here! So, I understand pdfviewer doesn't work in 15.3, is it worth it to downgrade to 15.2 or 14.2? I don't have any ADE books (small town, local library has nothing), DRM scripts if I were to buy a book... so that's not a concern & I understand 14.2 was great. Also, where would I find it, would I lose my place in books or will themes/logos be affected by going back (I upgraded to 15.3 out of the box)?

I just wanted to add my welcome too! IMNSHO, you picked the best reader. I'm still loving mine.

Happy reading!
