Thanks for all your help you guys. The 600 is nice but I'm very weary of touch screens after having broken two ipod touches. Also, I know this is a stretch but i take intensive Jewish studies courses and it would be nice (but not at all necessary) for me to be able to read hebrew. Again, thats an extra and i dont really care if it isnt possible. I think I'm going to get the kindle 2 (although I'm very tempted by the 600) and suck it up.
Again
