Didn't even know about 603.
So, is 603 the same as 602 plus 3G?
Personally, I don't care about 3G, whereas WiFi is nice to have.
Concerning "you just seem to go for every choice available": That's partially true. I don't go for all of them, just the ones that interest me. No JetBook, no PocketBook 301, no BeBook Mini, ...
But for the ones that interest me, I've got a simple calculation: New gadget = 1 week (or even way more, if I'm lucky) of fun. For $ 300, that's cheaper than any vacation or other hobbies like that.
Only problem is, at some stage everything starts getting boring. Did happen so a few years ago with my DVD collection. Did happen 20 years ago with my collection of comic books. Did happen with my Pocket PCs and Palm Pilots 6 years ago.
For the moment, iTunes movies (about 1,200) and TV episodes (abot 6,000), eBook readers and eBooks (bought more than 1,500) are nice enough hobbies - and still cheaper than other spending frenzies I've had before.
One problem remains: Most consumer electronics get cheaper instead of better. I'd prefer higher quality for an adequate price.
