The CNET reviews gave the 300 a higher rating than the 600 as well. All the extra functionality aside, the two most important factors in E-readers are readability and library access. The reviewer refers to Sony library access as a positive. He just is very sensitive to the glare. Once anyone gets access to a decent library with ebooks I just can't understand picking a Kindle over a Sony. The glare issue is bound to cause some readers to vote against the Sony. There is no way around it.

I'm keeping my 505. I just can't see exchanging a worse reading experience for a dictionary.
