Wow! Thank you so much for all the amazing responses!
I think I am going to go for the Sony 650. The extra price seems worth it since it does everything I want and nothing I don't want. The extra bells and whistles of connectibility and color touch and mp3 players aren't that important to me, and Sony seems to have near perfected all the actual e-book reading parts. ^_^ Hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on one before I make a final decision (plus, the extra cost may make it so I need to wait a bit for the extra cash anyway) or may hold out for Christmas and hope for some kind of sale or something.
Plus the Sony 650 comes in RED.
One question, is there any difference between the 650 and 350 besides the screen size (and the color availability, which made me sad... my heart is set on red!) because if so I may just go for the pocket edition which would help with the whole cost issue.
You guys rock! Thanks so much. ^_^
