In light of all the comments that have been written about seeing glare or reflections off of the Sony 600, I'm surprised that part of their advertising strategy for the 302 is a "highly glossy touchscreen;" I guess they haven't been reading our boards, huh?

that glossy screen is going to be annoying and a touchscreen that doesn't react all the time to a thumb-press .... umm ....
i don't know why e-readers are being introduced with touchscreens, they'll get awfully dirty very quickly .... |

PocketBook have great (or nearly) software design, But for me a really poor hardware design... THe pocketbook 360 sounds too technobabble for me, and look like a big heavy thing in the hand. And the controls are I think painful

Here some pictures taken from the Ukrainian website :
Not as classy as the brushed aluminum of the 505, but with its integrated hard cover it's seems by far the more pocketable of the new 5" devices. About the software, I liked what I saw in the video, the interface seems very nice and the default fonts and margins were looking nice too. And there is a dictionary. Generally small company don't have enough resources to debug and polish theirs firmwares, I hope this will not be the case here. It they sell it in the US not much over the price of the PRS-300, like $239 or less, I would seriously consider it. |

No I don't like them because they will not be easy to use on daily basis, you will often press the lower button when holding it with such a disposition.
