I picked up a refurbished PRS 600 from Woot.com and it arrived yesterday. There are a few things I don't care for with the 600 but those are personal preferences not flaws.

My reading habit is to be reading a couple of novels, some history or biography, and a few periodicals or feeds all at the same time. I switch between the content. On the Kindles and the Kobo it's really easy to navigate among a half dozen or so selections. I haven't been able to work out an easy way to do this on the 600. The Continue Reading icon on the home screen only gives the current reading selection. If I list the books by date it appears that the date is the date loaded onto the 600. (Kindle listing by date lists first the books that have been opened and the Kobo has an I'm Reading list.)

I guess I could make a collection but that seems a bit over the top.

Other than that, the 600 is a fine ebook reader. I'm not ready to replace my Kindle or Kobo with it because of the book juggling issue and Amazon's selection and prices.
