I can see that some people could use the dictionary feature and note taking on the 600 but when I read a paper back book I never took dictionary with me or marked up book, that's not me.

Also, it takes 1 second to hand turn a page in a PAPER BOOK and you never hear people complain about it, I get where I don't even notice it on 505, you develop a rhythm as someone else wrote.

But I do understand other people's needs are different than mine, and it's good to hear other people explain why they prefer one device over another.

Turning pages in my 505 is fast for me but that's because if I have a book that is SLOW I just reformat it so it's fast as the others, and I'm just pleasure reading.
So screen clarity and portability and ability to have font sizes that are comfortable for me carry top marks for me, so I'll stick with the 505 for now.
