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
Well, one thing's for sure, I won't go for the 300 due to the smaller screen size and lack of memory expansion slots.
