I swapped it for a 300. It works very well and offers what I'm looking for in a reader: excellent size, plenty of memory, and a wonderful screen that works perfectly under the same conditions where the 600 failed me.
To qualify my interest in the 300... I don't read technical manuals on the device, I don't have a desire to listen to music on the device, or look at photos, or carry gigs upon gigs of books. I just want something simple to use as a reader. So, the 300 works well for me.

Is the 300 really plastic? I thought maybe too small a screen and definitely the lack of SD slot were the only drawbacks with the 300, but I recently read that they don't feel as solid as the 505. Do you think it's sturdy?
