I have used it in the plane, in my room at night or just in plain daylight and I just could not handle it..
Using it for more than a week is enough for me.. I think, the sample unit in the stores does not do enough justice on the glare of the screen, you have to spend time with it.. dont get me wrong, I think the PRS-600 is one of the best reader out there its just that the screen really does have that glare on it that you just cant ignore..

i wish you guys who has it the best, im probably going back with my Stanza iphone app for now...

ohh, I did get a PS3 out of the returned reader..lol

thanks everyone!
The glare you describe did annoy me on Sony 700 as well.
But it's not a "symptom" of eInk. It's because of the touchscreen.
Do you need touchscreen or would Sony 300 or 505 be an alternative?
Their display is WAY better, no glare at all. Readable even in broad daylight.
