505 seems like a valid choice to me too.
I bought one when borders had the sale for 199 and I liked it so much I bought the second one with the sony-card deal for 150 dollars.
If sony came out with 9 inch screen I would be interested in it for pdf type stuff, but the 300/600 seem nice but they just don't seem like the right direction for me. Sony should focus on making the eink BETTER and BETTER and focus on extra features second. We are buying them to READ on and I want the BEST reading print available in best contrast/clarity.
Also, not to be missed is the fact that you can hack the 505 , which I did, and put on better fonts and adjusted the buttons to do stuff I like, like INSTANT turn off instead of stand-by , and other stuff.
