Gadgeteer reviews the Sony PRS-600

By Paul Biba

sony-600-22.JPGJanet Cloninger of The Gadgeteer has posted a review of her new 600. She upgraded from a 500, which she says she really loved. Typical of The Gadgeteer, the review contains a wealth of information. Here is part of the conclusion:

I’m very glad I decided to give the PRS-600 another chance; I won’t be returning it. The 600 retains the functions I loved from my 505 and has added a dictionary and note-taking features. Writing in the books themselves isn’t something I’ll use since I read for pleasure. I was never one to write in my books anyway, so I don’t think I’d do that even in a digital book. It will be nice to make a quick handwritten note to myself if I find myself without paper handy. When I factor in faster page turns, faster loading of books from the Sony library software, and a nice screen, I’m very happy I decided to upgrade to the Sony PRS-600.
