@Latinandgreek: I could not carry a pink reader without my daughters pointing and laughing. So I got me the silver one.
PDF capability was impressive when compared to the kindle and I think it's very doable in landscape mode on the 350. That being said, it obviously isn't perfect and PDFs that I've tried where the text is an image fail miserably, but that's typically very old book scans that don't have text recognition embedded.
