Its PDF handling is the best right now of all readers, but you have to keep in mind that PDF's are not meant to be read on a reader, anyway.

The 350 looks like it'd be the best fit for me, but unfortunately it's just too much for me new at $180. I couldn't find any used in the flea market here (only ones being sold for full price), and I'm too afraid to buy used off of ebay. I did see the cheapest used one on Amazon for $120, though I'm not sure what kind of risk I'd be doing buying it. I have no problem with used products if they are gently used, not beat up. I'm not sure what would be a reasonable price to expect for a used 350, though.
