I'm with you. I just returned a loaner PRS350 and found small text in landscape better than medium text in portrait. I hope to have my PRS650 Real Soon Now.

As for the duplicated lines between pages in landscape, I don't like it at all. It interrupts the flow of reading when I have to scan the second page to find my place again.

Sony can and should fix this. Making the text fit their idea of a fixed screen/page is counter to the whole idea of ebooks and re-flowable text. And besides, it's annoying as hell.
