- Dislike the massive glare/reflexions/bad screen-quality.

- Dislike that it doesn't provide internal light. I didn't like the light (quality and draining the battery) of the PRS-700, but with the help of this light switched on it was possible to deal with the glare/reflexion-problems. The PRS-600 doesn't offer this possibility.

- Dislike the delay in the handwriting-function, which lets me write "blind" and makes the result not really readable. - And dislike how unprecise it works (often missing letters or parts of letters)

- Dislike the slow and unprecise annotation-function (the on-screen-keyboard)

- Dislike that the "back"-button (PRS-700) has been removed

- Dislike the fact that only a few words of a highlighted text can be copied back to the PC (even if the book is not protected by DRM).

- Dislike that the dictionary doesn't provide other languages than English

- Dislike that you see each finger-print as well on the (black) frame as on the Touchscreen - much worse than it was with the PRS-700

- Dislike that it odesn't come with a cover (the neopren-sleeve seems to be very cheap and not protective)

I was really looking forward to getting the device, was sure it would be much better than the PRS-700 and was very much willingly to love it, but I'm absolutely disappointed and I'm going to re-sell it and keep the PRS-700 (which is much more useable for me than the PRS-600 after all) for books I have to make annotations in and mainly the PRS-505 for reading "for fun".

Greetings,
Momo
