But in real life conditions, people who bought it and compared it to the screen of their 505 came to a clear condition: the new screen is worse.

In my first hand report in the First Hand Report thread, I stated that I was able to take the 600 around to various lighting sources in the store since I was comparing it to my 700. The salesperson was very helpful in allowing and even encouraging me to do this since it was quite obvious the display on the 600 is a significant improvement over the 700. It may be easy to fool some uninformed customers, but not experienced ereaders.

The problem I think is using a Mighty Bright, the light bulb causes a glare on the screen that makes it hard to read. I too found it near impossible to read with a night light on my 505.

I agree! I frequently have to repostion by little gooseneck light when I'm reading. Of course, it really doesn't bother me that much so I am happy to exchange my 700 for the 600.
