I’m after getting the this product as an Xmas present. My head is wrecked just tryin to read the user manual, I can’t find a back light, according to the above review there isn’t one ???! And the font is so tiny, I’ve a headache trying to decipher it. I cannot under any circumstances see myself reading a book comfortably with it. Can someone teach me how to even get the font big enough to read ?????

I bought the PB 302 after reading reviews. I was under the impression that I was getting a quality device, however the reader that I got did indeed feel cheap due to lower quality plastic that it is made of. The screen had a serious glare issues but worst of all, it stopped working cimpletelly after 3 days of use. I sent it back to the manifacturer’s service center and have not gotten a repaired or replaced product as of yet. Overall, I’d say : stay away from Pocketbook unless you enjoy a low quality reader and a rude and obnoxious customer service.

This is an excellent review! I personally own the PB302 and can say that my reading experience so far has been quite good, with few exceptions when the glare is unavoidable.
However, I do have a problem with the built-in link to Bookland. Although I have configured my wi-fi connection and the mini-browser is working perfectly, whenever I click the Bookland link it says “Not connected to network”, which is ridiculous. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem?

It is a good solid reader, the screen glare is not THAT shiny to prevent you from a comfortable reading…
Anyway, I love the good ole’ 301 more than this one… it’s the age, probably)))

I own such a reader for over a month now, upgrading from the 301 model.
All I can say is that the screen is indeed strongly glaring which makes reading pretty difficult. Also the contrast is to some extent diminished as compared to standard eInk devices. Living in Germany, a sttrongly regulated market, Wlan and Bluetooth are of little use. However, it supports most types of ebook formats and hat a pretty good dictionary feature. This is, in my opinion, the only reason I keep this touchscreen device – it makes dictionary work more comfortable.

I was thinking of buying such a device myself. The price feels competitive comparing with suchlike e-readers of more famous brands. Functionality is impressive as well. The review really made me look more favorably on this very product. Thank you.
