I've had a Sony 60 for just over a week and I'm delighted with it.
Particularly good points:
- Excellent build quality and styling. Many of the competitors look and feel cheap
- Easy to hold and turn pages
- Easy to shrink/enlarge type size as light changes
- Supports a wide range of formats
- The SD card slot
Imperfections:
- I have no problem with the screen, but I can see why other people comment on it
- I don't lije the font, although I understand why they use (it's a Times-style serif font)
Alternatives I considered:
- Kindle - rejected because of the locked-on format, restricted features in the UK and, IMO, it's pig-ugly
- Sony 300 - no card slot
- Elonex - looks and feels cheap
- Cool-ER - feels really cheap
Things I'm not happy about with the 600:
- Sony's Ebook Library software. It's rubbish. Sony software is always rubbish. I don't know why, but it is. By rubbish, I mean it crashes, it's ugly, the UI is half-baked, and it's limited in functionality. But luckily there's Calibre, which is also ugly and has an odd UI, but works very well and has great functionality.
- Accessory prices are stupid. Basic cover - £25; leather cover - £40; cover with light - £50. I mean, come on!
Hope that helps
