I have long been in love with my PRS950 - a huge improvement on the 900, thanks to the new screens.

I stumbled in a Best Buy two weeks ago to buy some blank CDs and I say the 350 on sale for $109. I figured... why not, at least I can make sure I always have a backup reader when I travel in case i forget to recharge my 950, or it gets lost or stolen...

I uploaded a couple of the books I was currently reading and noticed right away the better dpi of the 350. I read on it for a couple of night, gotten used to holding it with one hand in bed.

Last night I wanted to read a newspaper in bed and I didn't have it on the 350, so I pulled the 950 out.... it felt big, bulky and awkward to hold with one hand.

I never thought I would prefer it, but now I read all my books on the 350. I have my newspapers on the 950. And magazines on my iPad. I guess I over-specialized a bit...

But that's besides the point. I guess I am trying to say I like my 350 way more than I ever thought I would. I also bought covers with lights for both the 950 and 350 and I must say it works much better on the smaller screen of the 350, as the light is much more uniform.
