Went and had a play with the 600 and 300 in Waterstones this past weekend. If my 505 went wrong, I would buy a 300, as I have never used the SD card anyway, I tend to connect to the PC to upload/download books each week, and even if I was on holiday, could still have enough books on the 505 without the card.

I didn't like the 600 screen - it reminded me of an old Palm Pilot, back in the black and white days. A bit fuzzy for my eyes.

Unfortunately only the 600 had books loaded on it! So I couldn't test the 300 fully. It seems quite a bit thinner - assume it is also lighter but it was glued to the stand so couldn't tell. The strip around the outside edges seems a bit plasticy but otherwise nicely made.
