Man I love this little Sony reader. I am very impressed with the PRS-300. I love its size, ease of use and the fact that it is not as locked down as the Kindle. This is my first ereader and I am loving it. I was debating between the Kindle 2 and the PRS-300. What really won me over on the Sony was that I can read my PDF's on it quite easily. The price is awesome too. My brother-in-law was able to hook me up with a deal from the store he works out and he was able to get me the PRS-300 for $139 and the PRS-600 for $215.
When I checked out the PRS-600 I didn't like it one bit. The thing that really turned me off to it is the touch screen. For the life of me I can't see why someone would want to get finger prints all over the screen they are trying to read. I know when I read on my iPhone I am constantly having to wipe prints off to be able to read the screen comfortably, but i digress.
For the casual reader, reading for pure pleasure, I think this is a great buy. I couldn't be happier. I can't report on the Sony book store yet since I have just been reading books I have purchased from other ebook stores.
