I have thought long and hard over this.

I am lucky enough to have the 505, but I liked the idea of the same great screen in a more portable solution in the PRS-300.
The 600 did not add enough usefulness for me to give up the great screen,
But the increased size of the Daily Edition device would probably make me overlook any reduction in contrast.

So... I have sold my 505 and a few cases on Amazon for $230 and bought the PRS-300 for mobile use where lighting conditions are mixed.
Then come Xmas I will look to get the Daily Edition for home reading.

Although people are saying that the wireless is only for connectiong to the store, you know it is only a matter of time that greater functionality will be opened up.

However, what more do you need? The E-Ink screen is not particularly good for web browsing and email would be a strange requirement.

Anyway that is my plan... And I am sticking to it (possibly!)
