I am very happy with the 600 - but then, it's my first.

My bedroom and study lights are to the side of my chair/bed, because I have used my laptop in both locations, and glare is an issue on a laptop. So, I haven't experienced a problem there. However, in my living room, where the light from the window is behind me, I find I need to angle a bit with both laptop and reader.

Re: holding/turning pages.
I end up holding it in my right hand with my left at the top. This places my thumb at the bottom right corner of the page - and I have found that an angle from left to right (or right to left to go backwards) is an intuitive move.

There have been times when I've been seated with the cover open and it has been resting on my left arm. In this case, once again, it is a "brush" but this time I find myself using my index finger.

I DO annotate books for public speaking reference, so the touch was my only option - and I have been pleased with the reader itself.

I did have to go back to Sony Support concerning the software on the computer crashing (Vista 64) when my Sony was connected, so the verdict is still out on that aspect.

Otherwise, so far I am loving the 600. So, to answer you question - no buyer's remorse on my part.
