a couple PB302 pictures

This isn't intended as a teaser, but one member is dying to see the photos of the 302. Yes, the screen really is that reflective. It's not an artifact of the photo.

I didn't get to use it. TBH, I didn't try. I would have had only 5 or 10 minutes and that would only be enough to identify the obvious shortcomings.

Would it be safe to say that its much more reflective than the PRS 600?

Absolutely. There's one photo I didn't use because you can see a perfect mirror image of my name tag. It is that reflective.

But I don't know for sure whether the unit on display is a production model or a pre-production model. The screen of the retail product might not be so shiny. I'm going to let one of the Pocketbook people answer that question.

Hey, thanks for that Nate. Sorry for the nagging

The PB people have promised a video review over the next few days. If the production units are that reflective, I think the PRS 600 would be a better choice. Fingers crossed that the production unit is better.

If it's really that reflective, you can use it as a mirror!

You would need an anti-glare film before you can actually read the text...

The PocketBook position: the reflective screen will be replaced very soon to non-reflective.
