I have a PRS-900 - not a fan of the touchscreen or the glare, or Sony's sub-par bookstore (compared to Amazon or B&N). It's too bad because the other qualities of the device are great, but really on an e-ink device the screen is where "the rubber meets the road" so to speak, and so if that isn't up to par then the rest doesn't matter. I'm awaiting enough feedback on the K3 and will then probably make the switch.

I understand that Sony will soon release new touchscreen e-readers with a better screen so I'd definitely steer clear of the 600 or 900 and await the newer models.
