I have to agree with Tovare about the stability of the PRS-600, but that is still no excuse for Sony not to bring some of the same updates to the PRS-600 that they are introducing in the PRS-650. I can understand them not including the additional dictionaries that they have on the PRS-650 since that would require additional licensing, but they should provide auto-cropping of PDFs, full justification of epub files and hopefully support for Cyrillic letters without having to load your own font-file.

I can just look at my PS3 to see that they do provide periodic updates for other devices.

All that being said, I will probably upgrade to the PRS-650 for the less reflective screen while still having touchscreen support. I also understand it is sharper with higher contrast.
