I agree. The PRS-300 is a 505 clone with a smaller screen and no memory expansion. There is a huge installed base of PRS-505's, so keeping the 505 is safe. The PRS-600, for $30 more than your 505, would give you more capability (5 font sizes, PDF zoom, a dictionary) assuming that the touch screen does not effect screen clarity too much this time.
