Let's try something else.
1. Connect the Reader to the PC.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. In the menu, choose View-Devices by Connection
4. Expand the PC node, then something like "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System", then "PCI Bus", then anything you can find with "USB" in name.
5. If the Reader was recognized properly, you should have something like this:

In the Windows 7 Device Manager the 350 shows up under Disk Drives, not USB Controllers. See my attached image. I get the following items:

Sony PRS-350 Launcher USB Device
Sony PRS-350 USB Device

Since the 350 does not have an SD card slot or a MS card slot, the related items will not show up as they should for the 650 and 950. I cannot believe that the same driver will be used for the 350 and 950, as was stated by Sony CS, as the 350 does not have the two card slots.
