You are probably right Noah98 but.... after taking a look at the pristine, flawless, sleek metal silver body of the 505 in mint condition I couldn't resist, so I took the 300 back and bought the 505. The 300 is a wonderful unit but I like the expansion options and the 6 inch screen on the 505, and did I mention it looked like it had never been used?! It's such a classy reader, metal body, brilliant screen, lots to like about it.
But the fly in the ointment today is that the new kindle 3 is out and the wifi version is only $139. This could very well be my 2nd reader.... and then I will stop... i promise.... for now....
