Also where is the battery located? And where can you buy a spare?

Poshm sorry to use your thread but I still don't know how to start a new thread.
Also how do you safely disconnect it from your computer? I was charging yesterday and when I went to unplug it didn't show up on my computer.

Welcome to the club My PB had the current firmware on when I got it so maybe yours has too but even so I would just get used to using it first before you attempt anything like that.

The battery is located at the back of the device under the pocketbook logo - if you look at my blog (see my sig) I have a post on there about how to reset the device and it explains how to get to the battery. Don't know about spare batteries, maybe someone else can help with that.

Enjoy your new device.

I found out that I really like how nice the Cambria font looks for reading. It has just the right design and spacing.
My settings: Font: Cambria, size: 28, line spacing: 90.

Thanks I will look that font up as it isn't one I've tried as yet. I seem to like changing the font according to the type of book I'm reading so I'm constantly changing them. At the moment, I'm using Trebuchet which is pretty satisfying.

I was pointed to this thread from one I posted (here) where I asked for advice on some nice fonts to use on my new PB360. I haven't as yet tried out the ones listed either here or there, but did spend some time earlier this afternoon gathering up those suggested. I thought other members might find it useful to have these available in one download so have attached a zip file to this post, in which I've included the following fonts other users have recommended in this thread, and a couple I've found to be quite nice too. Included are:

Andika Basic
Calibri
Calisto
Calluna Regular
Cambria
Droid Sans
Droid Serif Regular
Gentium Book Basic Regular
Georgia

They were all downloaded for free or from Windows Fonts folder. My apologies if the sharing of the above is not permissible, and if so I will delete immediately.
