Hi everyone, I (obviously) don't post to this section very often because I have the 505, which I need to replace. I was hoping to get another 505 but those seem to be more expensive than a brand new 300, so I was thinking maybe this would be a better way to go. I'm assuming the 300 would work just the same as the sony as far as formats, ability to read library books, and hopefully there would be minimal issues when I go to set my 300 up/authorize, etc.

My main question is this. Does the 300 come with a case? Or can I use the case for the 505? I have the lightwedge for the 505 can that be used? I know alot of people have said that the 300 isn't as good as the 505 and I really hate to give up my 505, but I just can't afford the high prices. And none of the ebay auctions look very promising either. I found a 505 for $80 on craigslist that I would LOVE to take off the owners hands, but in order to do that, the owner has to email me back!

All I want is to get back to my reading. I can do that for $179.99 at Frys.

Any other hints/tips on the 300 would be greatly appreciated.

Kelly
