Good, but could be improved

"Reader itself is good, page update a trifle slow, but good enough. Needs additional features such as calculator, address book. Needs additional organization tools for audio and pictures (provides essentially none).

Screen is reflective, contrast is poor

"Even with all the new bells and whistle e.g touch screen, and built in dictionary. The PRS 600 failed at in fundamental purpose-create a screen that simulate ink and paper books. The screen is a down grade from the beautiful PRS-505 edition. Unlike the PRS 505, the contrast is poor, and the screen feels spongy.

"The device itself is good. Decent screen, not quite as clear as the 505, but still very usable. Main problem comes from the poor sync software. iTunes has provided a model for what easy organization should be like. The software lacks the ability to rename books when titles etc. are missing, and forc …" Read Full Review »

5.0

"Product is fun to use.

I also like the mp3 part and have downloaded a book that I own to listen to when I want to just listen (instead of read).

I will be downloading other books including audio books in the future from the internet sites available. Some of the older books are even free. "
