I dont need any feature except reading and ability to get books from various sources on the reader. I guess my Mom is getting my Kindle. I can still read my Kindle books on my iphone.

Do you REALLY want wifi? It is a total waste and product of feature bloat imo. And it eats battery life up faster--I really like the Readers for their long battery life. Honestly, it is no problem to find various books online (from many sources), and just load a pile of them onto the Reader periodically. In fact, 90% of the time I only connect my Reader when I borrow new books from the NYPL (every 1-3 weeks)--which tops off the charge too.
Wifi is a useless feature for an ebook device used for leisure reading imo. If you want internet access to read blogs, rss feeds, etc., better to use a webphone/blackberry or laptop.
That said, you might want to consider the 505 as well. If you just want to read books, the 600 is overkill (feature bloat of touchscreen, dictionary, anotations, etc., plus reduced contrast in the display). The 505 would be great, and the 300 is pocketable, with a great display. All of these borrow library books nicely.
