I would personally be quite shocked if sony were expecting to see many sales for the 300 from users experienced enough to find their way to a site like mobileread, they probably expect them to be interested in the 600 since its more likely to have features that would be an upgrade unless for some reason the marginal size/weight savings compared with a 505 were worth it to somebody.

Also, for a basic device aimed at newer users, the lack of external storage probably makes a device more user-friendly rather than less simply because it means there is only one place they could have copied their books.
Egad, man! I mentioned 5 times that this is an opinion. O-pin-ion.. it means, this is how I see things.

You have yours, I have mine. You've stated yours. Don't knock me on mine. Gee whiz.

edit...

I don't mean this as an attack on you, personally. There have been several people here who have condemned me for my stating opinions (when I specifically said they were opinions, or my viewpoints) and it's really beginning to hit a nerve.
