I tried to convice myself that the glare (or rather "light diffusion") was worth suffering for in order to have the search, dictionary, and faster page turning.

In the end I exchanged it for a 300 and I'm very happy I did. Easier to read and easier to hold in one hand while standing on the bus. For the price difference between the models, I'll probably be able to get something vastly better than the 600 in 1 or 2 years anyway...
I held out longer than you (since the end of October), but I gave in this weekend as well for exactly the same reason. I'm back to the 505, although I might get a 300 for my "pocket" - they are £129 in the UK at the moment!
