I was so excited to buy an e-reader, and I was not disappointed with the Sony. It "reads"many different formats, and even plays i-tunes format audio. I love the text size features, as well as the ability to highlight and take notes. Easy to use! Now all my vacation books fit into my purse, instead of their own bag. Highly recommended. No problems with loading software or registering.

It is so convenient to keep a multitude of books with you anywhere you go without juggling large stacks and breaking your back! The bonus of being able to keep pics and your favorite music on the same small device is awesome. The ability to keep an entire library of books and music on a few little memory cards is very appealing. I had a little trouble downloading ebooks in the beginning, but once I got the hang of it it was actually a rather quick process. I am very satisfied with the PRS-600.

From the first time my friend showed me her Sony reader I had to have one. I love this thing! Its so easy to use and theres a lot of extra little tools in the reader that come in handy.The only thing thats not so lovable about the product is that theres no back light and the contrast isn't adjustable and the fact that the glare can be some what horrible.

This is a great reader for the price. Unfortunately the software is a little unintuitive. The bookstore is pretty good, and if you like popular books you can get from libraries, this can generally provide you with lots of free reading. If you read lots of color books, splurge and get an iPad for $500. I use both. The Sony book reader is great if you buy paperback books. It's extremely light-weight and easy to use. If anything, it does almost too much. It supports ebooks in multiple formats, plays audio files, and displays pictures (albeit in b/w). I use the iPad because I am a college instructor and some textbooks are just ridiculously heavy. One book in use weighs 6.5 pounds and is two inches thick. My iPad is much less. If you need color, the Sony PRS-600 won't help, but if you don't, it's perfect.

This product is what I wanted plus more...I like the touch screen, chang in text size which makes it easier for reading...I usually take me a whille to read a book because of the small print but with the sony ereader I couldn't believe how fast it took me...I finished a book that was over 500 pages less than a week which it would have taken me 3 weeks and now working on another book...I recommend this product to anyone who like to read...
