I was a long time owner of a PRS-500, and would be still, except I think I left it on the airplane returning from a trip last year.

A friend gave me his original Kindle after upgrading, but other then the wireless downloading of books, I just haven't taken to it as much as the Sony.

Anyway, so I've been using my Sony card left and right to stock up reward points, and between that, and selling off a bunch of old computer parts, I've got the out of pocket cost down to an acceptable level for me, but before I pull the trigger and order a new 600, I'd like some honest feedback of how the Sony's are stacking up against the competition. When I got my PRS-500, the pickings were very slim(very nearly a market of 1 device in the US as I recall), and I haven't kept up as well other then high profile announcements like the Nook.

So what's the major +/- for the PRS-600 vs the compeition these days?

thanks!
