The Register Hardware have published their review of the Sony PRS-600 Reader Touch Edition. 'Like the 505, the 600 has an aluminium case which makes for a solid and flex-free bit of kit that should last the course. In order to keep the front as clear as possible, all the necessary ports, sockets and switches are crammed into the top and bottom edges of the device. Up top there are slots for both SD and Memory Stick Duo storage expansion, along with the on/off switch and a stylus - more on this below - while down below sit a 3.5mm headphones jack, mini USB port and power socket. Since Sony doesn't bundle a power adaptor, you'll have recharge the 600 using the supplied USB cable and a handy powered-up personal computer. This takes four hours opposed to just two with a 5.2V mains charger.'
