I have a 300 and a Kindle and am trying to decide which one to keep. At first I bought the 300 because I loved the contrast of the 505s and thought it was a great improvement over my Kindle 2. My first impression after opening the 300's box was that it was tiny! I have been using it a few days, but the contrast is pretty much the same with the Kindle font hack enabled. I think the 300 has way better build quality, is smaller and more solid. Some of my Kindle buttons click and make a loud audible noise that bother my sleeping wife, and some are silent. Not with the Sony.
Readability to a Kindle is about the same. It seems like Sony uses a lighter background which makes it appear that the contrast is better.
I still haven't decided which to keep yet but hopefully that helps.
