Now, this is really the case on the 505 as well - if the light is directly on the screen, you still need to shift the reader to continue reading. The difference is with the ambient light. With the 505, unless it is a harsh light, the ambient reflections aren't really noticeable - not so with the 600. It's pretty much like the 700... removing the backlight apparently isn't the issue - it's the touchscreen.
Wow! That's terrible news, just absolutely terrible... I guess, Sony engineers really don't listen to the public then, do they? What was the purpose of removing the front light if no screen improvement came out of it?

I guess, Sony really doesn't learn its lessons, does it?
