I've had the PRS-600 for some time and wishing for more contrast is an issue. However the other night I did a refresher on my Jython skills using a tutorial from IBM Developer Works, and I did a lot of scribling on the text, taking notes and highlighting related to my project ... it dawned on my that the Kindle Wi-Fi which I pre-ordered won't be able to do this. In addition the touch is really convenient when looking up dictionary words or highlighting passages and when zooming, moving around and searching. In the normal position the keyboard is good for one-figer or stylus input, changing the orientation it's pretty fast as a two-finger keyboard.
In other words, even when my new reader arrives I'll still use the Sony as the primary device for many reading activities. I do have a cover with light ... which is necessary more often than I would have liked.
The PRS-300 has the same resolution as the PRS-600 so you have more points per inch of screen. I've never tried it, but for those who read mostly regular books it's probably a better choice than the PRS-600.
