And now the story comes to an end. (PRS-600 Woes)

I've been a very happy PRS-600 owner for some time. It was wonderful.

I did, however, have a problem that has, now, ruined my e-reader (for my perfectionist self)

Dust.

Finally, my PRS-600 got a large, large piece of dirt inbetween the two screens. It won't come out, and covers about 2-letters worth of space on the medium/epub font. It's not nice.

If you're considering buying a PRS-600, since there will undoubtedly be numerous sales soon on the now-obsolete reader... Consider carefully. The device is wonderful, but if you're picky about the screen's readability, don't. Many will tell you /they've/ never had trouble, and they probably haven't. I have, and it's not pleasant!

The warranty just expired, too. How unfortunate! It's a very nice device, and I'm sad that mine is now splotched up.

On the plus side, I really want a kindle.

Just thought I'd share.

Or I could give it to my mother, who doesn't notice it.

Any idea on how that piece of dirt got there? Did you try and service it yourself or something? Otherwise seems a bit unlikely to me.

Too bad about your warranty

If the warranty just expired (within the last 30 days), I would call Sony and see if they would clean it anyway. Worst Sony can say is no.

And they did.

On the dust: It gets in there. That's a design flaw of the 600... Apparently, it gets in through the stylus hole thingie. It's not sealed properly.
