Yes, absolutely. I've mentioned this before, but it bears repeating:
The PRS350 has a screen with 200dpi resolution and the PRS650 is only160dpi.
Considering that this dot pitch difference is roughly equivalent to the surface area differences, I would have expected the fonts on the 650 to use the same number of "dots" per character, and that the font sizes would be proportional to it's larger "dot" size. Instead, they tried to keep the font sizes the same (likely in order to take advantage of the potential to fit more text on the larger screen), and in so doing the resolution suffers on the PRS650.
