Or if you do anything that involves cross-referencing or reading across multiple pages, or if you find yourself skimming around a lot. Problem is amplified by the fact that it's only a single screen.
The 505's slowness is pretty maddening for me. The 600 seems noticeably faster, but still not particularly usable for any kind of dynamic reading and navigation, and I think the 505's contrast is too low already, and would hate to lose more than I already have.
Pretty lousy tradeoff. Perhaps the 300 will be zippier...but maybe I'll just need to wait another product generation or two.
