That's strange. I too do all my reading on a PRS-600 with reading lamps and normal room lighting, and don't have the slightest difficulty. Perhaps your PRS-600 has a faulty screen?
I don't think its faulty, it looks just the same as the one I played with on display in John Lewis, its just way too dark for me, and when compared next to a 505, their is just no comparison.

I did read a review which said reading on a 600 was like reading through a window and I know exactly what he means, it is, the text on the 505 is 'on' the page, the text on the 600 is 'below the screen', and add in the glare as well, and its just not worth the £250 I paid.

I am quite despondant about it to be honest, I don't buy books, I read fanfiction which is stories on word docs/PDF's and its an ebook which can take RTF or a netbook, so no other options for me. I can't just go back to reading paper back books as the stories I want to read are not published.
