I apologize in advance for the errors contained in this message. I live in Italy and my english is rusty.

I bought two months ago a PRS 650 (I was lucky to find one, since even in Europe are fifficult to find) and I was very happy with it, except for two things:

1) the character (I solved the problem with PRS+ and inserting a number of style sheets .css; my favorite character is Lexia Dama, but I find that the character Nimbus suggested by a member of this forum is great),

2) a gray screen.

Needing a more portable player, I recently purchased a PRS 350 and, as soon as I received it, my surprise was great: the bottom of the screen is not as gray as the PRS 650, but much wither (almost white) and the contrast is much higher.

The difference is noticeable even at a distance and was thus perceived by many people to whom I showed the two devices.

I know that the resolution of the PRS 350 is slightly higher, but the coloring of the the back of screen can not depend on this factor.

I read the forums (about the new Nook) complained that several owner of PRS that their screens were significantly different. According to a reader that depends on the fact that the specifications of the Sony are more tolerant than those of B & N or Amazon.

Now I use the PRS 350 at home, despite the fact that the 650 has a larger screen. You have found differences in the models that have occurred? And do you think I can ask to Sony for a replacemant of the screen?

P.S.: I also have a Kindle 3 that I gave to my mother and the screen has a screen (very light gray) similar to the PRS 350 which j have purchased. This confirms that there is a problem of uniformity in screens of PRS. It may be that the difficulty of finding PRS depends on the difficulty for the Sony to find uniform screens?
