Hello im new here and i want to buy an ebook reader these days.
So the new 600 arrived and i cant decide. the bookshop in my city, hasnt got the 600 yet and so i cant compare them really, but i cant wait longer, getting an reader ^^

watched many videos about those 2 reader and now im looking for some experiences from you guys. because the impressions in a video are not the best.

i really dont need an touchscreen (search function would be nice but not essential) so the real two points are the page turning speed and the contrast

im reading pdf mostly and the most of them have many pictures, so the zoom function is nice on the 600 but i dont want to read with it. i want only to see the hole page for the pictures and then make the fonts larger and read the text.
so i fear, that this procedure of reading a pdf would take too much time

my question now, is the 600 that faster than the 505 with pdfs (maybe a way to convert pdf in another format, which both can handle with same speed?)
and the other thing is: is the screen of the 505 that better? i mean is it less reflecting and the contrast better?

what could you guys recommend, the 600 is also about 50% more expensive, but thats no pro to me

thank you !

ps: is the 505 able to handle rss feeds?
