Actually, I think the 600 does really mix it well.

I can see my prints only if I angle the reader to the light in a certain way. But this way I would also have a lot of glare. So if I angle the reader to have minimum glare, then I also don't see my prints.
Another reason it doesn't bother me is, that I do my page swipes at the very bottom of the display and the bookmarks are in the right upper corner. So it's not the space on the screen that really is used that much. But ok, that's me.
I still prefer the finger over the stylus, but, everyone to his own likes.

But I liked the comment anyways. It was just too tempting, heh?

If one uses more of their fingernail versus their finger, smudges are greatly reduced.

Old but the best of the best.

I am dreading the day when my breaks down and I will have to get one of those...you know... with greasy fingerprints touchy screens...

Enjoy it

astra, the greasy fingerprints are really not that bad. And there are still the readers sans touch or with wacom.

I exaggerated the greasy fingers of course
Although, there are other problems. Glare. Even 505 irritates me sometimes. Everyone, including people who don't mind the glare, agree that 600 is a lot worse than 505 in this regard. The problem is that the glare is caused by this very sing that is a subject to greasy fingers treatment

Other types of touch screens involve extremely bad battery life, at least wacom. I don't know anything about sans touch.

The 505 is sans (without) touch. Sorry, I didn't want to be confusing
