Pics are good.
Specs would be better.

Software details would be best.

looks like they were made for right handed readers... or one handed readers.

As with all PocketBook models you will be able to change the orientation of the device and map the various button functions for handling however you wish.

personally , i'm right handed and most often hold my reader in my left hand so i can reach my drink etc with my right.

I know that I can change the orientation and map the buttons as I own a Pocketbook, but I change my "reading hand" every couple of pages, should I change orientation and button-mapping every time I switch hands? And I think the sensor or automatic orientation is not useful when you're lying in bed and reading "horizontally".
The PB301 has buttons on the left side; one of them I had assigned to page forward. These buttons are not really comfortable to use, but my left fingertip had to learn to push it

I have a love-hate relationship with the G-sensor. There are times when I switch it off completely, and there are times when I use the buttonless page-flipping and I love it. However, I wish that there is a shortcut to switch it on and off at will (possibly it could be done on one of the "widgets"?). Right now it's quite boring to have to go through menus in order to deactivate it.

No wing buttons? Boring.

I bought a PB360 a few months ago so I'm not really in the market, but I was hoping they would continue with the more ergonomic design (similar to the 360) for at least one reader. Maybe this is not the complete new line?

I agree with you about ergonomic design.

They've said they have still an ace in their sleeve... maybe the IFA will tell.

jerald · 08-21-2010, 05:22 AM

it's cool

Verres · 08-21-2010, 07:09 AM

They stated somewhere that a new version of the PB 360 should come out late in 2011.

That's good news, the 360 does too many things right to let it die after just one generation.

The german pocketbook thread contains some words from PocketBook about price ranges.
