If less text per screen is an OK trade-off (I don't mind it btw), then the Sony 300 is the real winner here. I tried holding a Kindle in one hand--it didn't last very long! The 300 fits nicely in one hand, it's very light, and you just press the bottom center of the device with either hand to turn pages. The 505 is pretty good for page turning as well, with large buttons on both lower corners, plus buttons on the middle of the right edge. Buttons are convenient for either hand, the device is actually small enough to hold comfortably in one hand, and these controls aren't prone to accidental mis-presses.
