I like the build factor of the 505 and the screen size so the 300 seems like too much of a down grade but not sure if I need the touch screen features of the 600
All comments appreciated

Hi,
That is exactly the same question that I asked myself two-three weeks ago. Finally I decided to go with a 600. When delivered, almost immediately I got upset with the quality of the screen of the 600. Very low contrast, uncomfortable to read for MY EYES. Then I tried to force myself into accepting the device based on the logic that it uses the most recent technology. I failed in that and went to a local Sony Style store to compare my 600 with a 505. The 505 was an easy winner. The store attendant confirmed that other customers complained about the 600's screen. So I purchased a 505 and returned the 600.
It is all about your priorities. I got the device for reading books, all other features should support it's main function and are secondary. I hope it helps. regards, Alex
