I guess I just wanted the maximum in mobility and convenience.

If I travel for example, I cannot expect my hotel room to be fitted with a lamp that is usable for reading on my PRS-600. Also, I can easily bring with me an AC adapter but not anything bigger and I also wouldn't want to run out of batteries while traveling.

Anyway, I have now ordered the PRSA-CL6.

PS: BTW, the Sony Style page says about this that it will last "Maximum 19 hours at the standard brightness level" - which I don't find very encouraging so I'll see if I can hack together some way of using an AC adapter.
