I do not recommend that anyone buy the 300/600 versions.

Save your money; buy only the later models.

I wouldn't buy a 600, but the 300 is NOT the same. It doesn't have a touchscreen and the contrast is much better than the 600 (and pretty close to the 350's). I have a 350 but the 300 is still being used--nice compact form, a good Reader model for those who don't want/need a touchscreen or dictionary. The 300 is a fine device for reading books. (And I onlu use the touchscreen on the 350 to turn pages and, by necessity, to navigate menus although the 300's buttons do that just fine.)
