Yesterday, after weeks of intense research and comparing features with other models available, I finally bit the bullet and purchased the 600. So far I really like it a lot. It has all of the features I was interested in. I am breaking it in by reading Starfish by Peter Watts, which is a free download science fiction download from Baen Books.

The main reason I got this model is that I do a lot of research for my writing and, with the expansion slots, I can have all of my research books currently out in e-book format with me. Especially those obscure ones that I have been able to find on this site. Many of them both out of print and hard to find. Also I can keep infinite backup copies of my current writing projects on hand in e-book form factor as well. This is a great thing because I am constantly revising and save any new changes I make on a document as a completely diffent file.

Having the search function is worth the price alone. Hooray, in some instances, no longer having to open my laptop on a crowded bus when I need to find some much needed info right away. Also the 6 inch screen and adjustable fonts I have found to be easier on my youth challenged eyes as well. In fact I was able to read much longer last night than I have been able to do in ages. Plus the touch interface is wonderful to use.

BTW, I went with the red one. Really fell in love with that color. Was originally gonna get the silver one but liked this one much better.
