Today I purchased the Asus DR 900. I went to the store and compared the Asus with the Sony PRS650 and the Asus just is far away from it. The screen refresh is slowlier compared to the PRS. Also the Sipix screen is way behind the e-ink. The Sipix white is rather light gray and the black is rather dark grey. Anyhow I still pruchased it after knowing this because I think that the reading experience will not be too much affected by it.
My first impression is that if you just read e-books (epub etc,) I would purchase the 650. However if you are also on pdf's a bigger screen is still a plus. Haven't had the chance to test the Kindle Amazon so I would not really be able to compair it.
This is my first feedback but I will test it and come back with more detailed feedback.
