Hi from PocketBook - Page 2

Andrey · 08-17-2009, 06:23 AM

Some words about availability:
we have active partners in Russia, Belorus, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Israel.
In Baltic countries we signed agreement and will start at nearest time. I think september-october.
Also in this year we plan to sale in USA (September), Germany (September), UK (October).

Today you can order PocketBook by e-mail we'll send it in any country.

About the place of topic. I sent a message to admins to open our individual branch.
No replies yet.

Something missed?

We have some our close developments. They are in modules.

A 5" Pocketbook 360° is resting next to me right now, on my shelves, loading, waiting for a thorough test.

My review will follow in German and English in Mid-September. Very much appreciated so far: not only a USB cable but also a USB power plug is included!

zelda_pinwheel · 08-17-2009, 08:00 AM

hi Andrey, thank you very much for all these infos ! and the photos. the Pocketbook 360 looks like a really great device. Can you tell us how much is the price and shipping ? i'd be interested to know how much it costs for France, but if you can give us a general idea of prices that would be great.

K-Thom, i will be really interested to hear your review of it !

zelda_pinwheel · 08-17-2009, 08:06 AM

as for a specific PocketBook forum, we are currently in the process of a re-organisation of the site, and the forum structure will be changing. we are planning to make a place for all the new devices coming, although the details are still being worked out.

First of all we want to invite you to visit IFA 2009 which will be taken in Berlin 4-9 september. Our Stand 107 in Hall 14.
There you can see and touch our products: PocketBook 301plus, PocketBook 360 and PocketBook 302.
Also we will present some of our future products.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them here.

Best regards!

Can you please double check that booth number? According to the IFA site an American company by the name of Western Graphics will be there. Also, neither you nor your device are listed in the search.

pilotbob · 08-17-2009, 12:27 PM

Andrey.... the 360 looks interesting. Seems to have similar ergonmics to the eBookwise.

Can you tell us what DRM is supported? You list ePub... does it support Adobe DRM for those?

BOb

igorsk · 08-17-2009, 04:48 PM

pilotbob, Andrey != Audrey.
AFAIK no DRM is not supported so far.

K-Thom · 08-17-2009, 05:57 PM

It's in the making for this fall as I've heard, and with Adobe ADE, which would give us a nicely designed, compatible device.

Keeping my fingers crossed ...

zelda_pinwheel · 08-17-2009, 05:58 PM

if it has good epub support, i'm not too bothered about drm, to be honest. it looks like a very nice liseuse.

K-Thom · 08-17-2009, 06:16 PM

Well ... that's the crucial point at the moment. If I had more time available, I'd finish the test by the weekend. Sorry it'll have to wait.

But then the firmware update may already be available by then (yup, Pocketbook is not Bookeen

... folder support, both page numbers and progress bar, bookmarks, taking notes, changing font size with one tip of your finger - sigh, what a relief!)

I am intrigued by your product, especially the 6-inch model. The site you gave earlier is not in English and I am in the United States. Are there no other sites available? Approximate cost of these readers?

menelic · 08-18-2009, 07:31 AM

Hi Folks,

I'm new to the site - a great resource as I research on what reader to buy as a PhD student with loads of books, pdfs and a weight limit for my field research...

English Info on PocketBook
I found some official English Info on Pocket book on their Israeli Website:

http://www.pocketbook.co.il/Models.aspx

What I can't tell from that is if the 302 does also have a note input via the touch screen? this is a must have-feature for me to annotate books. Maybe Andrey can speak to that as well. Also, Andrey, please list the devices which your company will display at IFA.

thanks in advance

Andrey · 08-18-2009, 07:47 AM

1. PB 360 will cost in Ukraine near 300$. I hope it will be cost same price in EU.
2. Booth 107. American Company is our Partner. All correct.
3. In nearest future we'll open English mirrors or somebody of our partners will open.
4. We've already did virtual keyboard on 302.
5. We will display 301plus, 302 and 360. Maybe some our designs if be in time for IFA
