Reasons I chose the prs 350 over the other ereaders...

1. size ... literally does fit in my wristlet with cell phone, id and credit cards, and lip gloss with room to spare
2. price...at $119 I can still get another ereader and not feel bad at what I spent.
3. e-ink...soooo much nicer than reading with a backlit display.
4. battery life...yes I know, not as long as Kindle (30 days) but longer than Nook (11hrs)...but hey 11 days is nothing to sneeze at.
5. epub format...sadly not on Kindle

I doubt seriously that I would get another e-ink reader. This one has all I want. I prefer my laptop for keeping my library of ebooks and going online to peruse for book choices. I just use Calibre and highlight the books I want and transfer to my prs350. My next will probably be a tablet like the Nook Color but the reasons have nothing really to do with reading. Well I take that back...more for magazines and childrens books.
