It appeared there were at least six of the 650 series that I could see on display. As there were a lot of other e-readers and accessories on the same shelf behind the counter, this count may not be accurate. I was too blinded by the desire to purchase one at the time.
I upgraded from the 500 to the 505, skipped the 600 as I thought Sony went backwards on the clarity of the screen. I have been very happy with my 505 for the last couple of years reading it daily. I looked at the 300 when it came out in 2009 and was not happy with the thicker/cheaper feel and smaller size.
When the 350 was announced I didn't even consider it this round based on this previous opinion. It probably was not fair for me, but I really do like the size of the 500, 505 and 650 series. I wear a coat a lot because San Francisco weather allows it and find this series slips into my pocket with ease.
Since I am a big fan of the Sony Readers I will be looking at it when I see it on display. I suspect I over looked them when I was in the store. Only when I see on on display will I truly know if I made the right decision. However what I have now is made me REALLY happy.
I have to go back to the other Borders near me as I
need to get a cover as the store I was at didn't have any more unless I wanted a light built it. When I see the 350's I'll definately let you know my opinion on them.
