Well I am the new proud owner of PRS=600 Silver(coz that's what the waterstones had in their stores).

I have it from the past 1 week now and I am quite happy with it . Mind you I also own a broken cybook gen 3 and working Irex Digital Reader 1000 .

Dictionary
The dictionary feature is intuitive and probably according to me the biggest selling point of the reader itself. It works out of the box and for a lazy bum like me , it's perfect. As I made a fool of myself , I figured you tap on the word twice for meaning to pop at the bottom.

Yes there is glare ! Yes the contrast is less but maybe I am finally getting older(24) , I expected the glare but I am still happy with the results. The gestures are a pleasure to use but I use the buttons at bottom.

The devices don't do justice here in UK btw , coz SONY and waterstones showrooms put the device at such angles that you would see no glares and since they are locked you wouldn't know .

Overall I would rate it 4/5. Dictionary again the biggest seller. The interface is straight forward to use , though I really wish they had a feature where I could keep a record of all the words I have searched for later study use.

Any advise on using it ? Any softwares ?
