The pouch didn't cut it, and I hate those covers with the cheeezy corner straps.
Since I use the MP3 player and an SD card to hold the MP3s on my PRS-500, the PRS-300 would be a downgrade. It is cool because you can listen to an MP3 "podcast" of a lesson and follow along in the book at the same time. I was doing that for a time with some online Latin lessons. The PRS-500 Reader ain't just for reading.
