Well, I really didn't like the interface of the PRS-300. Also, until recently it wasn't much cheaper than the Nook. I think it is fine as a basic, cheap device but my list was more or less a "best in class" one. The Nook pretty much blows it away for a little more money.
As for the PRS-600, I did not like the display (nowhere near as clear as the Kindle or Nook and it even had glare!) at all. Also, the touch interface was a tad sluggish. The Asus T91mt is far better for annotation and inking (especially with the newest version of Penwrite). Yes, it is a bigger device (although still relatively small) but I think it can handle free-form annotation quite well. Sleep mode makes it a viable on-the-go device as well. Also, I think the PRS-600 is way overpriced for what it offers.
Again, this is all just my two cents based on ownership and usage!
