2. Must have a fast CPU/RAM, it needs to respond without lags.

3. Must have alot of space of the option to expand it with alot of space. I would like to buy a 16/32gb SD card and put it in there if possible.

4. Probably the most important - It needs to have SUPERB BUILD QUALITY ! ! !
I will gladly take the lesser high-tech device if it's sturdy, quality, and has no flimsy parts in it - I can't stand chinese electronics.

5. big bonus - I'd like to highlight or add notes while I read if that's possible- not critical.
The PRS-505 fails on reqts. 2 & 5: it's slow and can't annotate.

The PRS-600 fails on PDFs (IMHO) and has a dimmer screen.

Both succeed on reqt. 4, excellent build quality (with the attendant warning on fragility by lilac_jive).
