Sony is fighting back with a vengeance, probably because of Howard Stringer's interview where he laments not pushing the eBook market as hard. If the CEO makes it his pet project, this division is getting priority. LOVED the pricing tiers if they are true.
Nice response to the Sony surveys sent earlier this year. It all hinges on the screen quality of the touch screen -- if the screen checks out, first day purchase of the PRS-600. |

i'm sure you are. enjoy it. i was actually surprised that someone had ordered one of the new models, and their order status says shipped ; but perhaps i've misunderstood.

Well yes, it seemed that oncdoc was implying that s/he had ordered a newer one and had it shipped already.

I just noticed that, when you click on the links, you don't get anything related to either the 300 or the 600

Sony - no more!
I have had it with Sony. I purchased a PRS-700 this year and asked them a dozen times if they intend to include a dicitionary, a resolution for the blurry screen and several other things in their next firmware update. No answer so far. Instead they just develop new half baked gadgets and sell them for the full price. No solution for "used books" (resell them through their bookstore, extend the drm to give them away to let's say 5 "friends" or sth like that) I would not recommend Sony any more. It is all about profit and not about the customer. My five cents mira |

And the used book thing - that's across the board. All of the major companies use DRM (not that we like it), but it's not just a Sony thing. You can share books on up to 5 other devices as long as they are on the same account, however. Not trying to be rude, just pointing a few things out. |
