Kind of a generic response, but if you don't want/need dictionary lookup and annotation, I'd go with the 505. Cheaper, sleeker, and a better screen contrast (from my many observations--No, Harry, I don't own a 600 but I spent a lot of time doing side-by-side comparisons, and the 600 screen was noticeably inferior to the 300/505). Plus, the 505 comes with a nice fold-back cover that works great and adds little bulk. The 600 has a foam pouch.

The Sony should reflow pdf's just fine for reading. To check this, dl the Sony Library software, opening up a pdf, and changing font size from S to M or L. (The 505 doesn't display XL or XXL.)
