It still lacks both the filetype support and the folder structure support that I want. With the 505, I'm aware I could put PRS+ on it and get folder support; I don't think I can do that with a 350.
It also doesn't allow a memory card, but 2gb internal (if it is 2gb internal, not 1.5gb and its own software) is enough.
Currently, my Sony has problems if I put more than about 400 ebooks on it; I haven't heard that the new ones have fixed that problem, although they have gotten faster. I don't want to wait three minutes for the software to load after I put new books on it.
Click-swipe with my thumb means two hands; I'm often reading standing up on a crowded train. I need to not have to lift the top finger off the reader to change pages. I could tap a corner; I can't swipe a corner safely. (I have small hands. I know the 350 is tiny; I'd still be worried about dropping it if I have to lift my thumb and drag to change pages.)
I'd really really *like* to want the 350; the size is perfect. But the way it's set up--touchscreen, limited filetype support, no folders, Sony's library system that has to re-organize after every connection to the computer--I don't think I'd be happy with it.
I'm not at all convinced the better screen (I don't care about screen quality; I'd be quite happy with an LCD screen if it weren't for battery life) and faster processor are worth losing the traits that the Pocket Pro has that I want.
