Yeah I went through the same heart ache, do I want to 600 or a 505. In the end it was the ability to place multiple hyperlinks on the page (I create my own ePub's) that won the day. Even though the 505 is far more readable.

As for annotations/notes/handwriting - yes I do use these, but as with any handwriting device you need to be careful not to lean your hand on the screen. Which can be difficult when writing notes on the left hand side of the screen.

Anyway my findings were:

If you are only reading books and want compact reader = 300

If you read books and listen to MP3 (very unsocialable in company, but I have done it when there is a TV program I don't want to watch) = 505

If you read books, jump around books using hyperlinks (e.g. Study Bible) make notes and listen to MP3's = 600
