I've only owned a Kindle, so I don't feel comfortable criticizing Sony's products, but I can't help thinking that Sony supporters were hoping for something better.
Maybe they'll announce a Sony 900 or something pretty soon.

Other than that I don't see why I would pay $100 more for this than the 600... well, it is a bit bigger (taller screen so more lines per page) and comes with a cover.'
I was so hoping for a 9inch device with awesome PDF support.

Exactly my feelings, BOb, awesome PDF support would have been the DX's biggest threat.
Still I think Sony is trying to take another path in all this, and it may yet prove to be a good decision in ways we can't foresee. They can create the demand for new ways of ereading.. Or else I shall think of Sony's execs as big fat fails.
