300 is just a dwarf 505 pretty much.

900 may be their best model with the fewest compromises and most features, but it does't have quite the same level of portability.

...then there are other brands you know...quite a few. They tend to shift the tradeoffs around a little bit, but none will be fast, none will have a great display, and none will be particularly versatile. Ergonomics and software stability/capability and services are where the big (if you can call them big) variations are. It's mostly a cookie-cutter market so far...
Sony 505 = mediocre display??? Which reader does have a better one?
Of all my readers, I still consider Sony 505 benchmark...
