Also is the slightly smaller screen a issue at any time. I have a Kobo WiFi and that's the only ereader I have ever had so I can't really compare.
That depends on you, e.g. how good is your eyesight, do you read complex PDFs. It hasn't been a problem for me.

I will say that the Kobo firmware has nice rendering of fonts and decent font sizes. The font sizes for the 350 tend to differ greatly rather than slightly, and some people don't like the default font on the 350. Not really big issues though, I feel.

I also use a Linux system so would a Sony be ok on that with downloading books etc?
Non-DRMed files are no problem. Just copy and paste via Nautilus or some other Linux file manager, or use Calibre. If you mean downloading books via the Sony Reader Library software, just a note that Aussies can't buy any ebooks from the Sony Reader Store, so the software is good for us to organise our books and transfer DRMed ebooks only. Dunno about the software's Linux compatibility.
