I have read for a couple of hours and so far do not miss the side buttons.
The size of the device is such that regardless of which hand I hold the reader in, my thumb falls over the round button.
I can comfortably press the 'right' or 'down' buttons to turn the page forward.
I have again noticed that the font of the 300 is slightly larger than the 505 as well. I opened two identical books and had both on small font.
This is a little annoying given the fact that the resolution of both screens are the same, I would have been willing to lose a bit of font weight rather than gain it.
The reader does shrinks the font in the menu pages to get the same amount of information as on the 505 screen, and it looks very good because of that.
I will try to get pictures out Friday evening. It will be tough though getting the lighting right to show the difference in contrast, it is noticeable in the hand though.
Do these screens lose contrast with age? I cannot remember what my 505 was like right out of the box. When I look at it now, it is slightly speckled, a bit like the grain seen within real paper. The 300 is not as noticeable at all.
