flickering screen on sony 300
i got my 300 today in the netherlands, first impression, perfect screen, no reflection or glare however the size is smaller then i imagined, portrait mode is same size as ipod touch landscape mode. the sony software on apple is sloppy and crashes sometimes, transfer books to reader goes well with copy/paste commands. the one thing that struck me strange is the page turn, when you do that, the screen flickers fast with reversed white characters against black background before the new page shows.
has anybody seen same?? |

I finally got a chance to loo at the 600 in two different shops in Toronto yesterday, neither one has any for sale and don't expect to, till the end of the month at the earliest. The other info I was give was while I still had the 505 for sale the other did not nor were they going to continue doing so. Although, the 505 are still for sale on the sony web site I don't know if this is going to continue for much longer, as a 500 owner I don't think I want to keep getting the unit no longer considered up to date, but the 505 looks to be the best model over all if you don't need too many bells and whistles.

mgmueller, thanks for your summary.
If you don't mind, I have couple of questions since you have several different devices. (1) What do you think between Sony PRS-600 and iLiad / DR1000s in terms of "scribble" function? For example which one is more accurate and faster. I saw in some video of PRS-600, the scribble function quite laggy (slow). Which one do you prefer? (2) From user manual, I saw that you can completely turn off PRS-600 (shutdown). Could you measure the cold boot time in seconds? cold boot = time from shutdown state to ready to use state. Thank you. |

If you change your library, first time initialisation takes longer, depending on the books to check. Sony 600 is slightly faster and a bit more accurate. BUT: Sony 600 is touch sensitive, iRex 1000S is Wacom tablet. Meaning: You can rest your hand on iRex' screen, which is the "natural" writing position, whereas this can irritate Sony 600. Both readers I'd never use for intense note taking. Maybe circling an interesting text passage or something like that... |
