With the Kindle, I can get to the word by D-padding up from the bottom or down from the top in about the same time, without repositioning my hand, and without miscues.
Highlighting more than one line on the Sony is so frustrating, I actually *threw it one time, after about the 10th failed attempt.

Maybe there is a vast difference between 350 and 650. Accordingly to your descriptions I don't see any other explanation to the huge difference between our experiences.
Mind you, before 650 I never had any touch screen gadgets and had zero experience with touch screen.
Highlighting is so easy, I cannot imagine how easier it can be.
Double tap on a word that brings dictionary it 10 times faster than pressing buttons to navigate to the needed word.
Maybe you have a faulty unit?
