I was very nearly put off buying the PRS-600 from reading some pretty damning reviews about lack of contrast and glare on screen.
Thankfully I took those reviews with a pinch of salt and bought one. Personally I find that at my normal reading angle there is no glare whatsoever - only if I angle the reader into a position in which I wouldn't read it (or a normal book) anyway.
There is a slight lack of contrast in dimmer lights - solution, use a book light or put a main light on. Had no problems reading it outside, in sunshine, under artificial light ... no problem
It is a MAJOR step-up from reading ebooks on a nintendo DS screen which was nigh on impossible to ever read outside!
If you get an opportunity to test them out at a sony centre, this is a good idea. I couldn't do this as I'm stuck in a small village with stroppy toddler and don't drive. But I would have sent the PRS-600 back and got the 300 version if clarity had been an issue.
Thank the [insert whatever you believe in] it's friday!
