I just bought my touch reader last Saturday and I already have scratches on the backpanel of the unit.
The pouch that comes with the reader is very impractical. And everytime one wants to just lay down the reader, one has to be careful that the surface you lay it on is really clean.
I really wonder why Sony is asking such high prices and then doesn't even provide a simple cover like with the PRS-505.
Also, I think that my 505 never got scratched in one full year, because the whole casing is made from aluminum. The 600s backpanel on the other side is made of plastic.

So if anyone from Sony reads this: I dislike companys sucking the last penny out of you without supplying the proper quality. It's not just about getting the most money for the shareholders. It's about people using devices/appliances like this and being satisfied with the unit and its quality.
In my opinion, the features of the 600 are better suited to my needs than the 505, but the quality of the 505 was far superior.
