The EZ Reader Pocket Pro (Hanlin V5, BeBook Mini, etcetera) display fonts with the same number of pixels as the 6" Basic. It also now has 9 font sizes for PDF and ePub. The Sony PRS-300 reportedly has the same size fonts as the PRS-505, i.e. it displays physical size, and it only has 3 font sizes. As I said, in the end what matters is how the font looks on the screen. If the PRS-300 happens to have a good font size for your eyes then you are good to go. However, I do think the Pocket Pro is a more capable device at about the same price. The PocketBook 360 has lots of font sizes for most formats, but I'm not certain how many it has for DRMed PDFs and ePubs (or how they compare to the 6" 301+).
