I purchased a PRS-300 late last year. It was my first reader. After I got it, I became discontent because of what the 600 offered, so I returned it and got a 600... Then I became discontent with the screen glare and contrast of the 600 screen and went back to the 300 because the contrast is great. I've never tried anything like comics on it or anything. Addressing the use of .txt files, I read for years on a Palm PDA reading only text files and had no complaints. Now that I'm on an actual reader that can preserve the formatting of a document, I'm spoiled and refuse to read just straight text. A good example is the book I'm currently reading. There is an area in the text that is a handwritten letter and it is in a smaller font and in cursive. It adds something to the immersive quality of the book. Myself, if I can't get the book in .epub format, my preference is to get it as .html and convert it with Calibre. Other formats seem to take longer to load or lag more on page turns. It also allows me to customize the book cover. So far, that is the method that works best for me.
