My PRS-505 is gathering dust, and I'm thoroughly enjoying my trips to Chicago's fantastic public libraries to check out my books.
Doesn't the PRS 350SC have a new and improved display? I read somewhere that sony had retooled their displays and raised prices for the readers. Aren't publishers bull headed about printed books as well? I thought that epub is a standardized ebook format.
