This Reader is much better for note taking, highlighting, and editing than any other Reader due to the touchscreen. As with most readers screen changing can be a little slow. It would be nice to have wireless connectivity but glad to give it up for the touchscreen. -- Much better than any other Reader
If it had wireless conectivity it would have garnered 5 stars all around. Easy to use and it reads many different file types including word, PDF and e-pub. I can read my work documents on the plane without needing my laptop. Much easier and lighter to tote. -- Best on the Market
Good value for its money. The screen is a little blurry because of its touchscreen features, however having a touchscreen is as an added bonus. -- Sony Digital Reader Touch Edition
I've had my PRS 600 for about 2 weeks. We are still getting acquainted (learning how to download books, checking out features)but so far, I love it! I fought getting an eReader because of the "I like turning the pages" thing. I was surprised at how quickly I adapted to pressing a button to turn a page. What really sold me was remembering dragging arount Steven King's 1070 Under the Dome and wishing I had a reader so I could slip the whole book (and many others) into my purse! I like being able to get books from the library and also the option of audio books. -- The beginning of a beautiful relationship!
