Other than that, I think the 505 is still a good choice. I upgraded to the 600 because of the zoom allthough I like the 505s screen better.

Just to add a little to your nice list,
- 600 is faster.
- 600 can do continuous page turns (swipe-and-hold), not just skip 10 pages like the 505. And when you release your hold, the 600 amazingly stops just at the page you wanted it to stop. I thought it might overrun to the next page, because the pages are turning fast enough that it doesn't seem possible that you can release your hold quickly enough when you see a particular page where you want it to stop. Maybe it's software help, where it backs up a little, like TiVo? You might like this feature if you want to skip over some uninteresting newspaper or magazine article.
Caveat, I've only tried the 600 in stores a couple of times, am not an owner. I didn't buy it because I like the whitest background possible--I even think the 505's background is too dark. Just a personal thing, never heard anyone else complain of this on the 505 or comparable screens.
