Although I have no experience whatsoever with ebook readers, I'm looking to buy one for my girlfriend as a birthday present. After a week's thorough research I've decided against the Kindle 3, and for the Sony readers, especially the 350 which looks really nice and cute (in pink!). My main concern then is the size factor, since it seems the mainstream goes for 6'': would you advise me against the 5'' of the 350? I'd easily go for the 650, it's still within my price range if it really makes a difference. Otherwise I'll probably go for the 350 because of the cute'n'pink aesthetics!

Btw, if anyone has an actual experience and thinks that pink is hideous please tell me so! It seems cute in pics, but I haven't seen it live yet! :-D
It seems to me that the great advantage of a 350 for a woman is precisely the small form factor. Fits pocket or purse. Lightweight. Pretty in Pink - I've seen one.

The 650 is a better size for reading, but not by so much that the other factors are outweighed, so to speak.
