If you don't mind, I have couple of questions since you have several different devices.

(1) What do you think between Sony PRS-600 and iLiad / DR1000s in terms of "scribble" function? For example which one is more accurate and faster. I saw in some video of PRS-600, the scribble function quite laggy (slow). Which one do you prefer?

(2) From user manual, I saw that you can completely turn off PRS-600 (shutdown). Could you measure the cold boot time in seconds? cold boot = time from shutdown state to ready to use state.

Thank you.
"Cold boot" is 27 seconds.
If you change your library, first time initialisation takes longer, depending on the books to check.

Sony 600 is slightly faster and a bit more accurate.
BUT: Sony 600 is touch sensitive, iRex 1000S is Wacom tablet.
Meaning: You can rest your hand on iRex' screen, which is the "natural" writing position, whereas this can irritate Sony 600.
Both readers I'd never use for intense note taking. Maybe circling an interesting text passage or something like that...
