Last Saturday I visited a local Sony Store and could finally play with the new PRS-600. Before that, I was little frustrated to have a "discontinued" product (I own a 505) but after that visit I was pleased that my 505 is still better (IMHO).
The 600 contrast is worst than 505 but is not that bad as I thought when reading some folks from this forum. For me, the only reason I'd buy one is the built-in dictionary which is pretty neat. English is my 2nd language and a dictionary is very important.
The "in place" notes and the touch screen didn't catch me, though.
The downside is the price of $399 + taxes (I'm in Canada). I would expect it a little cheaper.
Regards
Paulo
