Forgive me for starting another "I-Can't-Decide" thread. I'm currently torn between the PRS-505 and PRS-600. Since I'll be using the reader mainly for reading comics and novels, I would prefer a 6" screen over my current 5" Pocket Pro.

The 505 has a clearer screen and has more button-choices to turn a page as compared to the 600, but it also has a slower processor - which I'm not sure how it'll affect the speed of loading images. I've read about the glare faced by owners of the PRS-600 but I honestly am not bothered by it.

So owners of Sony reader, would you recommend the 600 to someone who is totally new in the Sony line, or should I go with the more stable and well-known PRS-500?

Oh and since I live in Australia, trying both of them out at a store is not an option for me. Hope you guys will understand. (:
