M-Reader,
I haven't really noticed speed to be an issue with the 505 at all though the 600 was definitely snappy. It may make a difference once I load more books on the 505--especially some larger ones. On buying the 600, just make sure you get it from somewhere with a good return policy (hopefully less in restocking fees!). Many people are really happy with it so it's probably worth trying.

Kelly,
If you aren't happy with your light situation you might try one of the Energizer book lights I use. They are quite bright and the light fills the whole screen wonderfully on my 505. You can see a picture of it here. Only downside is you can't use a rechargeable battery though they last a very long time.
