600 better than 900
When I bought my 600 I was considering the 900 but it was
1) Too thick
2) Too heavy
3) The worst form factor I’ve ever seen… (this one alone kills the deal)
I think the 505/600 size is just perfect…
It feels very comfortable on my hands, I love taking it wherever I go, it feels like carrying a real book but potentially holding the content of 4000 of them or more!! I do not think I’d carry the bigger 900 or an Ipad everywhere I go as I do with my 600…
When I just got the e-reader I had a hard time deciding which cover I’d should use…
The Sony genuine is very appealing and it really makes me feel like opening a book, the down side; it’s not very protective.
The “Case Logic” is no so appealing, it doesn’t let me plug the usb/power connector w/o removing the unit from the case (not an easy task) but in the other hand it is very protective…
Then I decided using both after trimming the left side of the “Case Logic”
I hope the future will bring Sony readers with the 600 form but also with:
• Bigger screen (no much more) the unit should not be bigger than a 600
• Higher resolution
• Better software… I’m tired of cropping all my files because of the Sony reader is always “adding” half inch on every side reducing the viewable font size. Off course the only magnification usable is x=1; bigger fonts + reflow is always a bad idea….
