WDE.

Definately.

Well I just went to my local Best Buy store and picked up a PRS-300. I suspect its battery will rival that in the 505. And no, I'm not getting rid of my 600. I bought the 600 for "scholarly" type reading where I need to make bookmarks, highlight text, make annotations, etc. But for reading a novel, and most other entertaining reading, I won't need those functions. And the 300 is so small and portable.
