The Sony PRS 300 was a good decent reader, if basically a smaller, stripped down PRS-505. Unfortunately the PRS 600 was not. Many found its touch screen hard to operate, the changes they had to make to the screen to allow it to incorporate touch resulted in a screen that could be full of glare and left text looking vaguely fuzzy.
The new Sony readers are certainly their best products. The touch screens work very well and look fantastic.
That being said, Amazon has put forward a remarkable product with the Kindle. The lack of Wifi and the higher price of the Sony 350 and 650 are going to make it harder for them to compete even though they are very very good readers in their own right.
