a new pb 360 owner

[LegoErgoSum]

Hello!

I have been reading in this forum for quite a while now and the given information helped me a lot with the decision for my first e-book reader. And finally I registered myself as the e-book reader "fever" broke out.

I chose the pocketbook 360 to cover my mobile needs. For my needs it's the best 5" device. I will write a review for further details after some time of usage.

In future I am also looking for a device with a bigger screen, which offers good PDF reading and commenting abilities,... I am still waiting for an optimal device in that sector. But let's see what 2010 will bring!

Congratulations on making a decision, Martin.

I was wondering if you could possibly post a list of what your requirements for the new device was and how this met them. I am assuming that you chose it because it is able to do some things that you require from such a device.

My main requirements for a 5" device were:
-portability: as small and lightweight as possible
-a sturdy device with a screen protection without losing too much portability
-easy handling and not too much buttons on the device
-a good screen resolution and contrast
-fast page turning
-a lot of different formats and a good display of them on screen
-options for altering the text display
-adequate battery life
-not too expensive
...


And there are a lot of additional points for the pb that I liked, f.e. support, community, high configurability, continuous updates,...

But I will recapitulate these things amongst others in my review. I guess that it will arrive next week and then I need some time for testing and using.

As I have said, for all things where a 5" device isn't optimal, I'd like to get a second device with a larger screen in future.
