Thanks for the link, that was helpful! A comment underneath the linked article mentions that you can get better quality TTS for your computer inexpensively and convert it to mp3 and put it on your ipod or whatever. Hmm. If I'm putting a book on my computer first anyway it might make sense to do that, get the 600 for highlighting and such, and have the best of both worlds. It's a tough decision, but definitely between those two (Sony prs-600 and Astak pocket pro) for me. While I'm aware that everyone has different priorities, If anyone else has used both and has further insight as to glowing or not so glowing differences, I'm open to suggestion! I have been following specific threads on each of the devices, but because they are so different from each other I can't recall having seen them compared directly.

For me its not about listening or reading -- I like to do both with the same book. When I'm driving in the car, I have it read to me (TTS). When I'm at a restaurant I read it. And I can switch seamlessly from one to another as I move from place to place. P.s. this is on my Kindle. I haven't tried TTS on the Astak yet.

Yes that's a good point. And really the reason I was interested in TTS in the first place. Oh this is hard.
