And now that I see the all compared by size together I have to say that I think the 950 is too big for me, and now that I know the new 350 model is a touch screen I have to think again, but now between a 350 or 650. Picture free pdf's on your 350 look good? How about in sunlight? Like you I am not interested in the music to play, and wifi is not important to me since I can connect anytime I want. Would the main differences between the 350 and 650 be (and please correct me if I am wrong): screen size, weight, ability to add additional memory, and the colors they come in ??
Thank you again everyone for all help!

Yeah, sounds like your Best Buy was one that couldn't get its act straight and put out a 300 instead of 350. You've got the main differences between the 350 and 650: screen size, weight, sd card slot, colors (350 in pink or silver, 650 in red or black in the US, some other options in other countries), and the 650 can do audio.
In sunlight, the screens look very similar to real paper. It's the same screen as the Kindle 3 has.
As for pdfs, if they don't have pictures and tables and they're made up of text, rather than scanned images, the reader should be able to reflow them well, or you could convert to epub. If they're scanned images you can use the program Briss to cut out white space to make it bigger on the screen, and there's a zoom option.
If you don't like the colors, decalgirl.com does skins (basically vinyl stickers that cover the entire reader) that can change the way it looks. They do pictures and solid colors, or you can get a custom one. So don't make your decision on color.
