finishing up my first novel today. watched 20 or so tv episodes and 4 movies so far. i find my reading dropped off because there is more i can do for entertainment and i like the ability to read for a bit, watch some video, play a quick game, read some more, check email, surf a bit, read some news. things my sony 600 could never do. i haven't touched my 600 since and decided to lend it to a friend who might be buying it from me. if he doesn't, i'll find someone else to sell it to.
never had a problem with eyestrain.
i applied a skin to the screen (
