I just went to sonystyle.com to check. The 650 does look red to me. The 350 is pink.

In any case, the Reader Library software is...how charitable shall I be?...not iTunes. It's clunky, has a confusing interface, and seems almost...numb is the word that comes to mind. Thankfully, I can ignore it until I'm ready to purchase something through the Sony Store as everything looks like it can just be dropped into the mounted "Reader" volume that appears when I plug in the unit. Now it's time to make a folio case for it; I have an industrial sewing machine in my garage and some leather. I'll post some photos when I finish it. |

I'd say the 650 has more blue leaning towards the purple family, but still in the red zone. Last edited by SolRaven; 12-31-2010 at 02:19 AM. |

I wondered whether the red reader made it less easy on your eyes to read. I didn't want to get the red reader thinking that maybe my eyes would be continually drawn to the red frame rather than the page. Has anyone found that?

DarkRoast, that's what I thought too when I bought my first reader which was a 505. I thought the red was gorgeous and the silver too reflective, so bought the dark, dark blue. When it broke, I replaced it w/ the sangria red 505. I have found that it doesn't distract from my reading at all, but instead energizes my reading. I feel like I have more comprehension at a faster, more enjoyable pace. It could just be that the color sitting around my target reading area is uplifting.

Yes. From what I can recall, it just might be a true magenta. The 650 just leans in that direction. If Sony hadn't made such a gorgeous sangria red 505 I wouldn't have such longing for their original red reader color.

I personally found the 505 red a bit too brown-ish for my taste.
I suppose there are always skins from Decal Girl... |

I've got the red 650. As others have commented, how "red" it looks depends upon the lighting. But I do feel it's more red than pink.
I don't find the red distracting at all while reading. |
