I picked up a silver 600 yesterday. I've had a 505 for about 6 weeks now and absolutely love it.

I use the Sony Library s/w, although as I'm in the UK I've installed the US version and use EntroPay to make my book purchases.

After authorising the device everything just works as before.

Unfortunately for me, it is going back though as AceFlor has said, I have compared the devices side by side and in almost all lighting conditions there is too much glare/reflection/whatever you want to call it.

The 505 looks to me like the ink is 'on top' of the screen with great clarity, the 600 is like reading through a smudged window (in low light) or a polished window in bright conditions.
