Bad news: there is no one set of "magic Calibre Settings" which will make all source EPUBs look "the same, just like I want them". This is because source EPUBs are created by different people all with their own ideas of what "looks good" and what settings/options they like to use in the CSS styling file stored inside the EPUB.
Good news: Calibre provides the facilities to "correct" any EPUB to your liking.
Bad news: if you don't know any HTML/CSS you may struggle to apply the features to get the desired result.
Good news: you don't have to be expert in HTML/CSS to achieve results.
Calibre's Tweak-epub feature will let you tweak the CSS inside the EPUB (before or after conversion) - useful for tweaking line-height, margins and many other things.
Calibre's Convert - Look&Feel - Base font size and Font size key will let you experiment until you get a font-size which looks good on your PRS-350. You may need to check the Calibre User manual to understand the latter.
Finally, Calibre's Convert - Look&Feel - ExtraCSS lets you override the CSS inside the source EPUB during conversion. However, you may need to peek at the HTML/CSS inside the EPUB to make sure you are overriding correctly. This is useful for changing font type and often for line-height, margins.
As for whether you bought the wrong reader...It is certainly true that some readers can give you better control of font face & size, margins, line spacing whilst you are reading. My PocketBook 360, for example, is one such device. However it achieves this by ignoring almost all the CSS styling in the EPUB. Some people love this, but I find it unacceptable. Your PRS350 should honour CSS styling as it is written.
This forum is very helpful to new users. But, if you want specific help with a particular EPUB it is difficult without being able to see the EPUB in question.
