Yah, you need to pick whichever works the best for you. I remembered when I first got my PRS-505 I was totally dismayed and annoyed by the glares of the screen. This was coming from the habit of reading pbook that whichever angles would work for reading. After several sessions with PRs-505, I was able to automatically avoid the angles that would generate the most glares, and actually loving the unit. It was the same for Prs-600, granted that the texts on this unit are not as sharp as that on PRS-505. But, they are very readable, and PRS-606 is now the primary reader for me for I use the dictionary feature a lot. Now I use PRS-505 as the dedicated reader for reading in bed with the light wedge.
