I'm thinking of buying the PRS-600, but I haven't read much about the audio quality. I've managed to resist buying either an MP3 player or an Ebook reader until now, but I think I'm likely to succumb soon.

I haven't read much about whether the PRS-600 works well as an MP3 player. I generally listen to classical music, so overall sound quality is important to me, and so are other factors such as continuity between tracks. For example, sometimes on CDs single movements are split into multiple tracks, and on early Ipods there was a very annoying gap when you moved from one track to the next. Also, do you ever get breaks in the sound if you read at the same time - for example if you turn to a page with a big picture on it? How about battery life during playback?

I'd be interested to know whether other people on the list consider that the PRS-600 rates as a good MP3 player as well as an Ereader?

Thanks in advance for your views.
