Well, my parents sent me the PRS-350 a couple days ago. I LOVE IT!!! It's a lot less bulky than the REB-1100 it replaced (I can even put it in my shirt pocket!), it holds LOTS more books, the battery charge lasts longer, and it's quite readable even in the small text size (extra small is a bit much for me, though). I also like the fact that I can write notes on the screen - I used that feature in Sunday school yesterday (I have all the books of the Bible - ASV of 1911 - loaded into the reader).

My only objections are that cases are EXPENSIVE (it really should come with at least a rudimentary screen protector - I'll probably sew a fabric sleeve for it for now), and it doesn't have a backlight like the REB did. Plus, it really should come with an AC charger so you're not dependent on having a computer to charge from. But all in all, I think the positives outweigh the negatives.
