Well, I went by my local Sony Style today to take a look at the 350. I bought it and cancelled my 650 order on sonystyle.com. I really like the size, weight and screen. Since I never use the music player or memory card (and why would i ever need to with 1.5GB of available memory?), the size and lower price made it a no-brainer for me. The store sample had 'Price and Prejudice' loaded and I found it to very readable with the XS font size, albeit without my glasses (I'm myopic). The only thing I don't like is that now I need to buy another Tuf-Luv case. I really think the 350 is a winner. It is so portable and easy to use, I think it is what e-Readers were supposed to be from the start.

Here are some pictures comparing the 350 and 600. These were taken outdoors in the shade. They are full resolution 10 MP files, so feel free to magnify them to 100% for a detailed comparison. http://picasaweb.google.com/ptwendel...eat=directlink
