But if your choice is between the 300 and the 505, I'd definitely go with the 505 for viewing PDF's.

The 300 is the same resolution as the 505. 600x800 is 600x800 whether it's a 5" screen or a 6" screen. Just hold it slightly closer to your eyes. If you want to view A4/Letter size PDFs in full screen, you need a higher resolution display, not just larger.
FWIW, I wish Sony would combine the zoom modes in the last two versions of the firmware. The old version appeared to give "full screen" and "margins cropped" views in portrait mode. The new version gives "full screen", "reflow1", and "reflow2". I have a number of PDFs that look great in "margins cropped" mode and just as many that need the extra size bump of reflowing. I wish I could have both modes available at the same time. And, while I'm wishing, I want more pixels but without paying $490 or more.
