My new Sony PRS600 lasted two days, now it won't power up.
Yes, it was charged!!! It worked fine for the first two days then simply would not power up. I returned it and have a store credit. I was so close to buying another as I thought it was the best out there for my needs. I'm willing to consider that the technical problem was an exception and the product as a rule should be reliable given the manufacturer. However, here's what's holding me back.....
In my short time experimenting with it I found that taking handwritten notes was a bit glitchy... not only is the space to write on the 6" screen fairly small, the stylus is hard to write small ledgibly with. I'd much prefer to handwrite notes than use text. Ideally I'd like to be able to be able to have my handwitten notes converted to text by magically pressing a button. One small problem... when I take notes by hand... I HAVE A TENDANCY TO YELL THEM DOWN If you know what I mean.
I would be willing to go to a larger screen, I'm used to carrying big books anyway so while pocket size sound tempting, I'll sacrifice that for easier handwritten notes.
Your recommendations on whether I should wait for next generation PRS900 or switch to the Illiad would be greatly appreciated.
ALSO... Come to think of it how far away are we from voice recognition note taking on your e-book reader?? Does it exist???
Peace; DD
