Sony prs600 returned

avid · 08-26-2010, 07:31 PM

I have owned a Cybook Gen 3 - one of the early ones - for years now, and it has been fine. But when I saw the low prices on the Sony - epub, dictionary, I couldn't resist.
Got it yesterday and it is going back today. The reflection on the screen and the low quality is amazing. I had read about both here, but could not imagine the reflection would be as bad as it is. Especially when held next to the Gen 3.

So I am back to where I started - not knowing what to buy to replace the Gen 3. I need at least a 6" screen, epub, and dictionary would be nice. Don't care about touch screens, wifi, etc...
Any thoughts?

Checkout PocketBook readers and see what's shown at IFA Berlin in 2 weeks.
PRS-505 if fine especially with PRS+.
