There's not a great deal to choose between the main three available in the UK (Sony PRS-T1, Kindle Touch & Kobo Touch). They all have their good and bad points, and it'll mainly be down to personal preferences which one will suit you best. On a basic level, I've been looking to upgrade my e-reader so have played about with display models of them, and I quite like the look and feel of them all.

I've read a few people who have upgraded to the T1 from their 650's and prefer the older Sony - though I think any of the current generation will feel a lot better than your 600.

Personally speaking, I think the PRS-T1 and the Kindle Touch are very closely matched, possibly the T1 slightly better for rooting and running apps, and borrowing library books, but then again the Kindle is £20 cheaper, has better customer support and is simply the easiest to use and buy books for wirelessly.

Both are probably slightly better than the Kobo Touch (purely down to minor glitches in the software and the way Kobo seem happier than Amazon & Sony to just have to iron out these glitches as time goes on rather than before releasing the reader). However, in the UK, you can buy a Kobo Touch for £80 (that's £30 less than the Kindle, and £50 less than the Sony), and it's really debatable whether the Kindle is worth £30 more, never mind the Sony at £50 more.
