Hi all,

went to check out the new Sony readers this week and was really surprised at how much harder the 600 screen was to read compared to the 505 and 300. I found it much darker than the other screens, more gray than white.

I'd been hoping the 600 would be my first reader, but it just goes to show that you can't judge everything from the internet. I sat and played with it for a while and just decided that it wasn't comfortable enough for me to use regularly.

Not sure if all the touchscreen models will be like that but might have to rethink my reader purchase, be interesting to see what txtr come up with when it's released, or the upcoming iliad 8" reader.

Cheers,

Justin.
