I love my 600, I was taken aback by the greyness of the screen/contrast at the start, but got used to it. The comments about lighting conditions are well worth taking on board. I bought a mighty bright light for bedtime reading and all's good. The glare I don't find a big deal, just tilt the reader slightly and problem solved.

I do think that if I'd had a 505 before and 'upgraded' for want of a better word, to the 600 I might have had a problem. But I too had nothing to compare it with and so.... ignorance being bliss.... I'm loving it.

Also, I'm a bit foolish about how things look and buttons do my head in. I don't like stuff to be too 'busy'. The 600 in red looks so sleek and I'm prepared to compromise on other things.

Still can't get ADE to work on MAC or PC (everything authorised, all details the same), so no library books for me, which is really disappointing. I think the ADE issues mean Sony shouldn't claim full compatibility for MAC since ADE is - as far as I can see - fundamental for library borrowing. There should be a caveat on that one.
