I have the PRS600 and have been really happy with that
I've seen a Sony in the flesh. I'm not sure what model it was, but I at least now have some idea of what an e-ink screen is like to read. There's a Waterstones in town, so I'll have to see if I can get in there at some point to have a look at theirs.

Thanks for that. Not having had one before, I don't have any experience to know how I'll want to use it, which is why I asked why 3G was worth the money.

I had assumed the dictionary would be installed, and so wouldn't need internet access, is that not the case?
