Received a prs-600R on saturday, and I'm very happy to have one.
Compared to either an 12 or 9 inch notebook the reader is much more comfortable, both on the eyes and in portability. (btw: the red does not distract)
Compared to paper I still find paper books more comfortable (or maybe I'm just getting old fashioned
), but definetly prefer the reader to A4 printouts, despite the better contrast and size of the latter.
What I really like is the 'feel' of the device which is highly undevice-like; it's clearly not a book, but when reading on it I don't feel like I'm using a gadget.
The downsides: the white on the screen isn't, this means that I need more light (as compared to normal books) when reading.
When using the pen it is quite slow in refreshing the screen and drawing with it seems a good way to drain the battery. (
reader is a very appropriate name for the device)
Accessing date&time; is there some easy way to have them displayed? so far I've only gotten them with home->More->settings. I would really like to have it at the bottom of the screen (with, say, a five-minute refresh).
