A description of the device I already made in this thread (in language german) at mobileread) and here more actual. A Youtube video you can find here.

I like it because of its excellent hardware quality and intuitive handling through the hardware buttons and stylus. But the most important thing is: the Linux firmware is completely open. Surely it it possible to hack even a kindle, but all Pocketbooks make it easy to add software and compile it on your own. Without any restrictions. The disadvantages are: hight price, slower hardware, the display is not "state of the art" (type Vizplex). But I can honestly say: it suffices my needs completely.

Fbreader software

Tried the fbreader180. The features are really good, but the integration with the PocketBook 912 Pro is disappointing:

  • No TTS
  • No Notes

So I stay with the stock, but a little buggy fbreader and will wait until it becomes more mature.
