After all the wonderful input from you all and the links attached to many of your post here, I went ahead and ordered the Sony PRS-600 just a few minutes ago!
I had a hard time deciding between the black and the silver. But after much thought I got the silver. Several reasons: First, it matches my Macbook Pro. Second, I ordered the saddle back color case from m-edge and I think the silver will look best in it. Third, in looking at various pictures of the black and the silver, I tend to feel the silver did not focus so much on the screen and the silver made it seem more elegant. And fourth, and most important, the silver one is the only one showing in stock!!!
I have already began downloading my RSS feeds from calibre and looking to order some books tonight as well.
Again thank you everyone for your post and other valuable information in helping me make my decision!
