I do, I have had the 505 since August and I bought the 600 yesterday.

The 600 is beautful, a gorgeous machine, I love the touchscreen, very fast responce time, much quicker than the 505, easy to use (quite intuative actually) but as a 505 owner I am not keeping it, as much as I like it, and really need a touch screen machine, the clarity of the font/background is just not as good as the 505. The 600 screen has a lot of glare but the 505 screen is completly matt. Its like the text on a 505 sits 'on' the page, but the text on a 600 is 'under a window'. I know its because of the touch screen but I just prefer the clarity of the 505 screen and the 505 is easier to read. (imo)

If you have never had an ebook then you will love it, if you have seen a 505 then you will need to decide for yourself once you get it.

Thats the fairest thing I can say, but many people on here love it so I am sure you will get much better responces than mine.
