Well I have had my 600 for about 3 days now and just thought I would give my quick reactions.

So far I love the size, feel and the look. I had a Kindle before and this thing is much nicer looking.

Once I got use to the touchscreen(as far as how much pressure to use) I am enjoying it very much. Turning the pages to me is much nicer with a short slide of a finger. One thing I do not like is the fact that the motion to turn the page is actually in reverse of the way you would turn a page in a book. I thought the swipe would go right to left,like when you turn a page in a book. but for some reason Sony went left to right.

The menu interface is setup pretty nice. Pretty intuitive. I have my books setup as icons which shows the covers instead of just listing the books out.

THe font sizes serve their purpose. I found the S to me readable, M a good font to read from and L to be good when I am tired and not having glasses around.

As far as the Sony store? It is not Amazon, but it serves its purpose. I wish it had some of the search features the Kindle store has(first chapter review, sort by author ,little more pizazz!). By I managed to download a few books: Common Sense, State Of Fear.

I purchased the Sony leather case for the 505 as well as the MEdge 550 case. I feel the Sony case is much more practical as if folds flatter and does not had as much bulk to the reader.

I went to the county library to get a library card today as well. Unfortunately, I paid $50 for a year as I am a non-resident of the county. I figured I should make that up within a year with the books. However I got home and it seems I can not use it to get ebooks. Need to find out Monday if downloads are only for resident people! Hope not.

Overall I am very pleased with the book and again thank you all for your great information in assisting me in making my decision
