Hmm, age is creeping up on my eyes but nothing a pair of reading glasses won't fix. I can't quite get my head round your description of the Sony landscape mode.
One think I can't seem to find out is the the zoom capabilities of the 602 such as remaining at a fixed zoom, and how it handles landscape Can't find a manual to download yet.
I suppose, even for all the mobi (converted to epub) books I have to get through, the 602 will be worth it?
