First impression is that I do not like the screen. The text is nowhere near as crisp as the Kobo. I will start a book tonight and see how I feel after reading a full book. The Kobo also seems to look and feel more like a book. Considering I paid almost twice the price for the Sony I would have thought it would have surpassed the Kobo. How do others feel about the screen on PRS-650, though I suppose if you had always had the Sony you would not have anything to compare it with.
I now have the PRs-350 and I have to agree that there is something strange about how the font displays - line spacing seems to be the main problem - the lines seems just a touch too tight for the size of the font. This seems to be a problem no matter what the book, so I don't think it is the ePub file.

That, and there is a really big gap between Small and Medium.
