One question I have is can you put Mobi format (no DRM) on the 360. And if I have books with DRM can I later use these on another device or will it only work on the device it was originally bought for.
Also I mainly read Romance books and I know Amazon has alot of books in this category and was wondering that if I do buy the 360 if there are other places for me to buy from.

I also really love the idea of the replaceable battery and would like to know how much it costs.
The K2 is a very good device. But with K2 you are limited to mobi!
Yes, Mobis without DRM work fine on a PB!
DRM: In principle you can use DRMed Mobis on more than one device if you have registered the device on the site where you have bought the Mobi. This however is not true for the Amazon books. Those can only be read on Amazon devices or software!
AllRomance.com and eharlequin.com are suppliers of heaps of good Romance. So is Fictionwise!
As for the cost of the battery, I have no idea! Yar, Dulin or Forkosigan might know about that!

You should update the manual, however, there are no markings at the back of the device indicating that this is the door to the battery compartment and reset button. It is also not apparent how to open the door once you start looking for the Reset button. (I did not need it yet, despite my furious tests).
There is only one thing I do not like in hardware. It is audible click when you press the button. I can still read without disturbing my sleeping partner, but I would have prefered a little bit quieter click.
Agree about the Reset button and the loud clicks of buttons. For the first time pressed the restart unexpectedly while versed, too, accidentally deleted all the information from reader.
Now, of course, OK, but if the button marked a bit clearer, it would be even better.

[QUOTE=luqmaninbmore;658019]I don't know if it's possible to just disable the thumbnail view in one directory; it seems to be a global setting. The device can, however, read zip files. For Manga, I would advise you to make them PDFs, because, while zoom works for image files, it is more limited than what is available for PDF and you cannot use landscape mode while viewing images, as far as I could tell. You can make sub-folders under the Photo directory. Under photos, it actually shows you first directories that have images in them. You can also do what I did and make a "Pictures" folder with sub-folders to organize your photo collection. You can then navigate to the Pictures folder under the Books menu icon and the directory structure is preserved.[/QUOTE

Great! Thank you vey much! Could you advice some decision to look .tif pictures? Don't want convert it in .ipg, taking a long time.

I recommend you to use this converter instead, it converts files from CBR and CBZ (i.e. image files packed into a Rar or Zip file respectively) to ePub, and not only does it a conversion, but it pre-treats them so that they're better readable. The only drawback is that folders are not supported: that is, you'll have to make one CBR or CBZ file for each chapter or volume, and said file can't contain folders within. However, once you adjust your CBR and CBZ to that requirement, the program functions like a charm. Another thing is that the screen size allows you much fun...

Hello, I read on the wiki that the 360 can highlight/unerline. Is this true? On what format can it highlight and is it easy to highlight? I'm planning on using this for school as well so the highlighting is a big consideration for me.

As I know, you can not highlight or underline directly in text yet. However you can highlight a part of a text in notice mode and save the highlighted part as a notice. You can read your notices later or jump from the notice to the text (it is linked). To underline or to comment in notices is possible with PB302 (thanks touch screen)

I'm not afraid convert each folder. I was terrified to think that might have to convert every file in each folder. Your advice - save for me
