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.

I rarely use my 3G Kindle connection to do anything but get content. I do use Wikipedia sometimes and that is all kinds of awesome but it's the combination of sample chapter + instant download that makes 3G a winner for me. Hopefully Sony's doing samples. I love loading up on samples and then buying the book I want after reading the sample. 3G means I don't have to be at home or near a computer. Plus it looks like they want to get into the periodical market. 3G delivery is great for that. If the screen looks good, I think this is a great play on Sony's part.
