Duuuuuh! 
In this case BOTH screens are 600x800, but the 650 is a little larger so it should be view from slightly farther back.
If you view the 650 from farther back than the 350 so that the subtended angle in your field of vision is the same, and set them so they are displaying the same number of characters per line, then they will look the same.
If ANYTHING the 350 should actually be slightly LESS sharp under these conditions because the smaller pixels of the 350 will suffer more due to the slight intrinsic graininess of the e-ink pigment capsules. |
I can see that you have never looked at the 350 and the 650 side by side.
Sony attempt to keep the actual PHYSICAL size of their fonts the same between the two units.
For example, if an upper case "I" is 2mm when using the "xs" font size on the 350, it's also 2mm on the 650, but represented on the 650 by using fewer, and larger pixels.
The result is less sharpness.
