I'm thinking the 600, so you can get that bonus highlighting. Plus I was playing with one today and it is wicked fast.

I say Sony in general because (1) you can add memory and (2) I know I've dropped mine twice (once three feet onto blacktop, although I was very lucky) and it's pretty sturdy (metal casing instead of plastic). BUT YOU MUST BE CAREFUL WITH ANY EREADER!!!!! Sorry, can't emphasize that enough. The screens are very fragile. But the Sonys are pretty freaking solid.
