I am currently debating over the 600, iliad or the iriver story.....

Sony 900 vs. Sony 600:
- The larger display allows a great "startup screen". Last read books, continue last read, thumbnail of most recent, ...
- I'm still absolutely fine with Sony 600's display quality (having read on PDAs for years, any eInk is a quantum leap). But Sony 900 is one step ahead (not miles ahead, just a slight but visible improvement).
- Sony 900 is slightly faster in turning pages.
- I like the form factor of Sony 900. Kindle DX for example I consider too bulky. But Sony 900, still having the same width, is very convenient to me.
- User replaceable battery. Every reader should have this.
That's why I had to drop Sony 600. It's still a great unit on its own. But within my bulk of units, it dropped due to Sony 900 into my "silent reserve".
iRex iLiad vs. iRex 800:
Similar as above.
iLiad still is a phantastic unit (consider this: Still ranking 4 out of 13 after 2 years) on its own. But with Sony 900, my (momentary) favorite with touchscreen is set. And iRex 800 is growing on me, start to like it.
Meaning: Sony 600 and iRex iLiad are great units and I still highly recommend them. But
my ranking is something like "probability of taking it with me on a trip".
