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. |

You could trade it in for a $75 credit with Sony....

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.

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. |
