well different strokes for different folks.. i love my 600 and it's been around the globe with me already. cover art? i spent my time reading pages, not gazing at the book jackets. size, not much of a problem. i always have my timbuk2 messenger bag with my with my laptop, the 600 fits just fine in there. i have even taken it out of my leather case and slipped it into an interior pocket in my ski jacket just fine. i do agree the bright lit screen of the iphone (and upcoming ipad) is easier and more convenient for me to read but i got tired of the continuous page turning on the iphone and i can't get into auto-scroll. for now i enjoy my 600 and i'll be preordering an ipad as soon as i can.
