ok, I'm baaaack...
bought the 650. pleased with the page size. after a few weeks bought the Sony cover (w/o the light) The cover makes it easier to hold w/o inadvertently touching the screen. The cover is very good quality tho will reserve opinion on how long the plastic prongs that hold the reader will last.
The touch page turn is great altho I dont always use it - sometimes the buttons are easier depending on the way you are holding it.
Gripes:
1. after a full charge the battery went flat after 60 pages, but havent had this problem since.
2. When charging it shows a full battery icon, even tho it isnt.
3. The PC software
The Reader is absolute rubbish - too many issues to list. But the main one is syncing - it always loses my place in the book I am reading
Also had problems with DRM rights for the book I currently reading.
4. In Australia the main ebook suppliers are Angus & Roberston and Borders and of the 30+ books on my want to read list there are 2 available. More are on the Sony store but we can't purchase from there for Oz. There is no point selling eReaders if there are no books! They need to get their act together asap and get rights to eBook all their paperbacks. Both these sites have rubbish searching and downlaod instructions - they are stuck in Kobo land.
In summary it will be difficult to get people off paperbacks into eBooks if there are continually confronted with poor quality software and lack of titles.
