3. No way to test the light.
4. No connection for LED's or a light panel.

This tells me that the display should be close to the sharpness of the PRS-505 since no thick plastic 'lightpipe' is required. The touch sensor may degrade the display some but not a lot. This is good in my opinion.
More stuff:

5. Screen test allows selection of 2 resolutions: 600x800 and 500x700. Does this mean that the 5" PRS-300 has the same or lower DPI as the PRS-505/600/700? Maybe lower and that is a step backward but may point to a lower price.

Update: The PRS-600 test mentions an image size, not a resolution, so #5 above may not apply. The test for the screen on the PRS-300 does not mention an image size.
