I use my PRS-600 a lot for taking notes during lectures - especially when a prof decides he needs to scribble a drawing to elaborate I find it usefull to draw a note of it for future reference. Since my notes are interlaced with relationships between items, diagrams and drawings it would be nearly impossible to enter them on for example a netbook, but the reader handles it just fine once you get used to drawing on an ePaper touch screen (it does take some getting used to).
That being said, I would not want to use it for elaborate writing or even blogging - the screen is too small to make long notes and while "writing" works well, it comes out as vector image, not as text. You can make text notes as well, but the ePaper is simply too slow in this regard in my opinion: it takes perhaps half a second for a keypress to show up and the actual letter to appear, which does not sound too bad untill you consider the averate typing speed is around 40 ~ 50 words a minute and you'll be lucky to achieve a fraction of that on the PRS-600. For continues writing, you should probably go for a netbook instead.
