Subject: impression for PocketBook 301+ ... splendid!

Hi, I received and tried, this is a great device. your firmware is so marvelous.

I have EZ Reader Pocket Pro / Sony PRS-600 / Kindle DX now, what I thought is This is the Top of the products in 6 inch devices. Light Weight, compact, nice software, fine image quality.
The Image reader's speed is impressive.

And I have some requests.

(1) ZIP image reader! (extract ZIP to RAM or internal storage / then run image reader / remember the file number) Japanese like to scan comics by Fujitsu ScanSnap, normally convert to ZIP or PDF.
ScanSnap S1500 is great scanner, it takes only 6-7 minutes to scan one comic.

(2) "Hide Status Bar" or "Minimum status display"(like image reader, just a page number) option.
Please see xxxxx.jpg. Bottom area of 800x600 image PDF is hidden. (This is scanned image of Japanese books)

(3) Font / character matter, for multi byte character
xxxxxxx.jpg is the "Detail" mode, Japanese file name shown on the Icon is broken. (also Japanese file name on the PDF status bar is broken)

best regards!

nice to read from folks who like the reader. I am really leaning toward the 360 because I love the design, especially the very well thought out removable front cover as well as the overall size. Yet I am oddly drawn toward the 302...but for me I sense the 360 will be the reader I use for fiction (paperback stuff that I enjoy reading.)

But get that crossword software on the 302 and I am so belong to Pocketbook...hahahaha....

I also enjoy that the device can create a connection betwen people here in the US and a place where folks still value doing a good job, as well as taking pride in producting a good product rather than a "product right now".

Keep on posting the good info!!

Breck, thanks!
