I went over to the SonyStyle store today and they had the Pocket and the Touch on display.

The screen is beautiful...no more glare.

I took my PRS-300 in with me and the new PRS-650 is only a little larger in total dimensions than the 300. It's also very slim and light.

However, they've converted the "TOC" navigation to an entirely visual one - book covers. Nine per screen. So the new navigation offered in the PRS600 (that had the alphabet list on the right side, so you could click on the letter you wanted to go to) is lost. Given how many books I have on my reader, that's a big detraction for me.

I DO want to test though, by going back with a memory stick - the sample only had 7 books. So maybe it changes when there are more books (I'm not hopeful).

And the other downside for me is that they didn't upgrade the firmware to include B&N's ePub DRM. Big downside.

So while I'd walked out of there thinking I'd definitely upgrade, more and more I'm starting to think I won't.

Edit: Also just noted while reading the User Guide, the old AC adapters will no longer work. And - if I'm reading it correctly - you will not be able to read while it's charging. Boo.
