Thank you everyone!
I decided myself for the PRS-505

Basically, as you read text if the text is too wide for the font size your eyes fatigue more easily.

Thank you Pilotbob, it's very interesting, that certainly help explain why I don't tire at all while reading on my small screen (I got about 6 words per line on the P3300) even though I have reduced the margin to almost nothing (no much screen real estate to waste here
)
It's also explain why I hate reading no-columned A4 documents
I will certainly keep this in mind while adjusting fonts on my next devices, it will save me time from the usual trial and error setting method

The problem with a PDA is the battery life --- you pay for that gorgeous screen. I've read a review that says the 210 can get up to 7 hours of "heavy use" on a single battery charge, but I'd be a bit skeptical of that. Using it as an ebook reader, I'd be surprised if you got more than 3 hours of continuous reading.

I owned before a Hx4700. it has a similar processor and screen and a smaller battery.
Using it as an ebook reader, the battery would last me from 5H (Backlight at 100%, best setting when outside) to more than 15H (Backlight on minimum, perfect for reading at night).
The P3300 last even longer if you put it in flight mode (turning off the cellular function that drains the battery continuously).
It outlast even my longest reading session, which usually occurs at night or on a plane, so battery was not an issue, although it's great to have a device that last weeks on a single charge
