The touch screen on the Sony is pretty different from the touchpad mouse on a laptop. It's not nearly as susceptible to unintentional movements, for one thing.
Here's something I learned over time with my 700: for turning pages, don't swipe with your fingertip, which I found often failed to register, so I'd have to repeat it. Instead, use the back of your fingernail and just lightly stroke the screen. I discovered this when I noticed that the screen is more responsive to the stylus tip than to a fingertip.
This also has the virtue of leaving no fingerprints on the screen.
If your father-in-law liked the touchscreen, he might enjoy the 600.
