I've had my 300 for a couple months now and I love it. I've been seriously considering getting a 600 too for technical pdfs. Today, I got the chance to play with a 600 next to my 300 with the same pdf on them. The font size, small, med and lg are identical on each screen, with the 600 showing more text, obviously.

The 2 things I liked about the 600 was the SD slot, for easy loading, and the mp3 player. I could read and listen to music at the same time! Cool! I'm sure the battery would run down quickly though.

What I didn't like was the size. I'm really used to the size of the 300 and I have small hands. The 600 just felt uncomfortable to hold. Guess that's something you'd get used to, but I planned on switching back and forth. The screen is not as crisp as the 300 either.

I think I'll wait to see what the next generation of ereaders has to offer. In the meantime, I use my 300 everyday!!
