I love Sony readers. But quite frankly, I find Sony 300 the weakest one. (Maybe Sony 700 ranks last, because of its glare).
You (without hacks) only can turn pages via 5-way-button, which is placed in the middle on the bottom. I find this rather inconvenient. On Sony 600, 700 and 900 you can use touchscreen, on Sony 505 you have various additional options, for example 2 buttons on the right side of the reader.
If you're out for a 5" reader, you should check out Cybook Opus or PocketBook 360.
Cybook Opus has great buttons on the right (or you can rotate, so they're on the left, top or bottom). PocketBook 360 the same (though I don't like its huge "butterfly wings") AND you can turn pages via its accelerometer, simply by briefly turning your wrist.
Sony 300 is a nice enough reader, but given its competition, it's not as outstanding as Sony 505 or Sony 900.
