If I order 505 one online at 349.00$ I can either have it on Sep. 21 with free shipping or Wednesday with 15$ shipping.

At this point I think I'm gonna keep whatever I get tomorrow. I don't want to order another one and have to wait again. I'm also not so sure that a 6" screen would make such a big difference.
Definitely check out the 300 (if that's what arrives) before deciding. I have a 505 and a 300, love them both. The 300 reading experience is much more like the 505 than like a PDA/iPhone. And I have over 120 books on mine, using up less than 1/4 of the internal memory. As I noted elsewhere, the 505 is great. The 300 is just as great for reading, and it is a lot more 'pocketable.' I only wish the 300 came with a folding cover like the 505. I still use the included pouch when putting it in my pocket, though.
