I owned a Sony 600 briefly before I decided that I would prefer the Pocketbook 302. I would have to say that while the Sony screen was a bit reflective, it was not unbearable. I learned to use it pretty well in the 2 weeks I had it. The only reason I took it back was it had difficulty with my work PDFs. All my other PDFs were fine. And now that Borders.com has them for $200 they can't be beat.
My Pocketbook 302 is great. The screen is a reflective as the Sony but with a matte protector it's hardly noticeable. I really like the touchscreen of both readers but really think the 302 software makes better use of it. It seemed like the Sony software was ported over from their other models and the touchscreen is just another way of making a menu choice. I know that's not entirely true but it seemed that way.
The Sony has fantastic dictionary support. I miss that since a lot of my non work reading is archaic literature, mostly from the 19th century or early 20 century. A dictionary is handy there. The pocketbook has dictionary support but not nearly as good as the Sony.
You couldn't go wrong with any Sony or Pocketbook reader.
BTW, my wife says the same thing about me. I started looking in November for a reader and didn't buy until April. I spent less time shopping for my last car.
