I completely agree with ukiacat2. I have both the Sony prs-350 and 650 and haven't read on either of them for a month or more. I prefer my Apple iTouch 4G.
With reading glasses, which I must wear anyway, the screen is plenty big enough. It is much sharper than the Sonys. I can read at night by reversing the colors, which I prefer to do in daylight as well.
My Sonys are much more limited in what they can show me. The iTouch, with appropriate apps, can present anything; I can read something from Kindle or Sony or Nook or my own work sent to Stanza as an epub document I create with Calibre.
The iTouch is much more versatile than the Sonys in many ways other than the fact that it can present all of the formats I have any use for. It is the best reader I own and I now use the Sonys only when I'm going to read out in the sun, which is seldom.
I think Apple accomplished more than they may be aware of. Except for battery charge life and direct-sunlight reading, there is nothing my Sonys do that the iTouch does not do better. Apple deserves their success.
