Sounds like you were seeing the glossiness of the Sony's Pearl display, plus the font difference.

Once when I bought a set of a speakers, I found a set I really liked, but continued shopping all over town. I ended up in an audiophile store, and the guy was showing me some speakers in my price range, which he claimed were better than the ones I told him I liked. After I listened, I expressed some doubt because I couldn't side-by-side the sound quality. The guy paused for a minute, looked at me, and said "You know what I've discovered in this business? If you find something you really like, that's the one you should go with because everything else is just second guessing yourself."

You liked the Kindle, so stick it out for the next week, and I'm betting you're going to love it! Don't second guess your decision at this point; especially since none of us were there with you (even though we're here for you!)!

Worse case scenario: you hate the Kindle, or just decide you like the Sony better? Amazon has a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. But I'm betting you'll love the Kindle. Heck, I've owned the Sony Readers since the original PRS-500, and even I like the Kindle 3 enough to consider one!

Great advice, thanks. I just got an email that my Kindle will be here Monday

Then it was the 350 I saw. That was a great salesman who told you to go with what you like initially.

I saw a video at Youtube of the Kindle and Sony side by side, and he explained that the Sony is recessed from the frame and that causes some shadowing. Maybe that is what I saw.

I still like my Sony 505 and I think I just didn't want a touch screen. I have an Ipod Touch and I have to clean that screen every day.

Maybe the next generation of Sony readers will be more attractive to me then.

Until then I can't wait til Monday!
