Sleeve or case...
EDIT: I just found out that the sony prs-300 is delivered with a soft sleeve right in the box. What are the experiences with it?
Maybe I just need to try the 5" screen instead of judging out of almost nothing. With a bit of luck I will find a store who can show me the device.

light - I have used both a 6" and a 5" screen and have been surprised how pleasant the reading experience for e-books is using the 5" screen.
As for the protective jacket for the 300 - it is just about okay however it does not provide the screen with much protection from knocks and bangs, so I would advise you get a protective carry case if you stick with sleeve (my original 505 died only because the screen broke after getting bashed in my courier bag). You can get a reliable case for about £12 (look at Amazon UK for Ultimateaddons armor case). You could also consider the Ultimateaddons Leather case (£12.99) - I use this for my 300 and I think it is great value for money.
If you do increase your budget, then I do think the PocketBook 360 is a lovely little reader, and it has it's own protective cover.
As you will have seen from many of the answers you have received, you would have a far wider choice of readers if you lived in the USA.
