Trying to decide between these two; I had just about narrowed my choices to the PRS-600 Touch, but then I started seeing comments about glare from the touch-sensitive surface, and that may be a killer for me, as the sine qua non of whatever reader I'm going to buy is readability. So, I've got a couple of questions for folks who've handled both or who have strong impressions of one.
1) Readability. IS glare a real issue with the PRS-600? If so, how bad?
2) Another aspect of readability: clarity of small fonts. How crisp is the smallest font in each?
3) Following with small font sizes: frequency of "page turns". I've only seen a Touch and was reasonably pleased with how much text could fit on a page in the smallest font; is there a noticeably high rate of page turns on the Pocket?
I originally was insisting on a 6" screen, but the more of those I saw, the more I realized that none of them fit what would have been my ideal prerequisite: a reader the size of a paperback book, with a text box equal to that of the paperback. Ideally, I'd like a reader that's VERY low on buttons/keys, with a maximized screen-to-reader ratio (i.e., a screen that takes up as much space on the front of the reader as possible, with really only a small "frame" around it and a few navigation buttons). Heck, if you know of a reader that fits those parameters, reads as many formats as the two Sonys AND costs about the same, let me know and I'll GLADLY look at that!
PS: Not looking for all the bells and whistles; I don't need to download a book whenever and wherever I think of it, I don't need to search on the mobile device, I don't need a dictionary, etc. I just want to read the freakin' book.
