I love this PRS-600. It's great.

Yes the screen is glossier than the 505. Not enough to matter; anyone that claims the device unreadable is just being overly dramatic.

I read a lot of nonfiction books and the bookmark feature on the 505 just was dumb. It didn't sync with the eBook software and really wasn't very useful overall. Now I can write, highlight and search books. So much nicer.

The dictionary is awesome. Double tap word, meaning pops up. Click the little finger on the dictionary pop up to view the full definition exert.

The unit itself is much faster than the 505 though I hear the 300 is too.

I prefer it from a physical aspect as well. All the sides of the 600 are smooth and rounded off. Depending on how I held the 505 the bottom of the unit sometimes dug into my fingers a little bit. I also won't be hitting those damn page buttons anymore that exist on the 505 when I'm shifting my hands on the unit.

The 505 isn't bad. I loved it until I crushed it on accident but I'm definitely happier with the 600.
