eric11210, glad to hear you like the 600 even with a red-green deficiency. I've seen several people say they didn't like it at first but got used to it over time. I'll give it a few more tries, but I think it's going back.

I already have a Jet Book Lite, and am really pretty pleased with it. Also use an Eken M001 and an HP TC1100 depending on the situation. I was attracted by the ability to borrow library books easily on the Sony machines. Maybe I'll try a 505, although they get pretty pricey on eBay auctions.

Edit: Apparently the latest (16b) firmware for the JBL also supports borrowing library books. I'll have to get that installed tonight and give it a try. That would be great.

Still interested in whether color perception affects the reading ability.
