kartu: I would tend to agree, but as CraftyDan said the resolution is the same. I suspect the hardware in the 350 is a little slower than the 650/950 to keep costs down, being Sony's low-end and most budget friendly model. But, as it's been said already, unless you have them side-by-side you probably won't notice it. As a side note, thanks for PRS+. I have it installed on both and it was a big factor in my deciding to keep a Sony vs. Kindle.

igorsk: It's definitely a 350. It says so on the box and the back of the device. I have tried resetting several times and it makes no difference.

CraftyDan: You are right about one thing: I had the 350 for a couple weeks before getting a 650 and had zero issues with the way it operated. Even after getting a 650 I had to play with it for a weekend before switching back to the 350 and then it was OH! this isn't as snappy! Some people may not notice this. When you are switching back and forth between these and a Kindle for a week, it becomes very obvious, but certainly not a deal breaker. I DID decide to keep the 350 after all.

Also, if I have a moment I may come up with a video showing what I'm talking about, since I still have all three readers with me.
