Keep that in mind too, not everyone have the choice to check it for real in a store. Here in Holland the Sony machines are only sold by bol.com online since they have an exclusive contract with Sony.

So we have to do with reviews of people who actually used the machine and have first hand experience. And from what I read problems with the 600 are plenty, not only the glare, I am reading about freezing etc, and I can honestly say, having used the 300 for about a week, week and half, I had no problems with the device at all, except for the crappy software it comes with.

And since it was my first e-reader I wanted to make a very informed choice and thanks to everything I read here, the good and the bad, I decided to go with the 300, only wish it came with a bigger screen, although I don't really have a problem reading on it, just put the font size on medium or large, but bigger screen would have been a plus.

So let people voice their opinion even if it's negative because it sure helps people to make an honest choice between devices on user experience if they don't have the ability to check the device for themselves in stores.
I agree!

I used the device and it was not for me and I returned it. For others its the greatest thing since sliced bread (not sure why sliced bread is that cool, I have been told it is though) anyway if someone asks me, I would say, "pass", other would say go for it. Ultimately I think none would disagree that the display is not as good as the 505 (few are) and if that is important to you then you should pass or if you are able at least go see one for yourself. If like many others have said they value the touch features and the pdf zoom features than this may be your cup of Tea.

I find it fascinating how the discussion turns from the device and opinions about the device to opinions about the people who have opinions. I will bow out of the discussion when it comes to that - I respect eveyone's opinion as there is no "right" or "wrong" when it comes to personal taste.

and as Forest Gump once said "That is all I have to say about that..."
