I have a 350 and a 650 and I can't tell the difference in speeds. The 350 does have a sharper screen, though I believe that is because it's got the same resolution packed into less real estate? I thought perhaps they'd render matching pages and I'd just need to strain my eyes more to look at the 350, but when I put the same book into both, side by side, I could not find any font size where the lines wrapped the same on both units, and the various font sizes were equally readable on both even though "S" on the 350 measures smaller than "S" on the 650. What the 350 loses in size it makes up in clarity.

But I haven't gotten to play with the 350 in some time, since it's been continuously being borrowed from me. I think the 350 will be the instrument that converts a lot of my friends to e-readers.
