Tough call. I went with a 300 as a more portable addition to my 505. I'm not worried about the battery,, nor do I use memory cards. But the Astak looks pretty nice, and has a good selection of formats. Haven't seen one in person. I do like the 5" screen format--more like the 505/6" screens than an iPhone/pda for reading. You feel like you're reading "pages" rather than small "screens" of text.
One general note--the 300 feels very solid with really good build quality. It is slightly thicker and more rigid than the 505, and has a metal casing.
