I have my mind set on getting a Sony PRS-600. A friend was supposed to go on a short trip to the US and he agreed to get one for me. But his trip was canceled. I have some friends in the US that will be spending the holidays here (BTW, I'm from the Philippines) and I can ask one of them to get the PRS-600 for me.

Now the delay of getting the Sony Reader got me thinking: Is it really worth getting? I'm sure that there will be no after-sales service here if I do get it. For that price, I can get an iPod Touch and use it in conjunction with Calibre and Stanza and do my reading from the Touch. With the iPod Touch, I can get good after-sales service from local Authorize Apple Retailers.

But what I'm after is the experience of reading my eBooks from a *real* eBook device.

Any advice?
