mgmueller:

i bought a refurbished K2 this past week. at first didnt like the contrast, then installed the alternate font, and it got a little better.

today, got a 300 (store didnt have the 505), to compare with the K2. contrast does seem better, but as you say, the 5" screen size is a big loss. some books seem to be only 6 words per line on the 300, even in smallest font size, and others are 10 words per line...seems very inconsistent??? trying to decide which to keep (K2 or 300). i'm leaning to keeping the K2, as the alternate font made the contrast better (although contrast still not as good as the 300), and the 6" screen size is big difference, also i like the dictionary. let me know any thoughts you have....thanks

also: is the 505 any better than K2 in contrast????? thanks.
