I had a first-gen Kindle, sold it because of early hardware issues (now fixed) and Amazon's desire to stick to Mobipocket with their Amazon-only DRM.
The one thing I miss about it is being able to have newspapers delivered by wireless so it is there in the morning before I leave for work (or I can grab it on the bus or in the office if the wireless was off overnight).
The larger screen will also help if you read comics (it is closer to the ratio of a lot of Japanese and US comics, and the extra size will make text easier to read).
ADDITIONAL: I've gotten a chance to play with one of the demos of the 900 at a local Sony store. The screen is pretty much identical to the 600 in readability. The taller screen is just about perfect in size, IMO.
The case is a bit lighter-duty than the 300/500/505/600 (more higher-quality plastics, less metal in the shell) to keep the weight about the same as the 600. I didn't really find it to be a bad thing, as the weight loss does help keep it easy to hold with one hand.
