I have the PRS-700 and was fully aware of the quality of the screen compared to the PRS-505 when I purchased it. I really wanted the faster processor, ease of use of the touch screen and the built-in lights so I accepted the degradation in screen contrast and the glare as a trade-off and am happy with my decision. I have to get my PRS-700 at that *perfect angle*, but otherwise have no problems with the quality of the page or the glare, but can see how others used to the PRS-505 would.
IMHO, *if* the screen clarity on the PRS-600 is somewhere between that of the PRS-505 and the PRS-700 and the glare is improved at all, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the new PRS-600, sight unseen. But please, if you can, go to a retail outlet and compare all 3 models, while you still can, before your purchase and make a decision on what is best for your reading needs.
Here's hoping that the PRS-700 gets a firmware upgrade to include a dictionary lookup and with an outside chance of being able to use the stylus freehand for notes/annotations.
