capnttom, thank you for the fine review, and to the other fine Kindle owners we have here, by the way. I guess I am too accustomed to the Amazon forum which I puruse frequently. So many of the Kidle users are nearly beligerant in regard to the Sony devices. Just wanted you to know I appreciate your objectivity. Although, I have never had a Kindle, I have ordered a 600 and have been concerned about its quality. Your fine review has added to the "favorable" side. Thank you again for the post.
