It sounds like the K3 would help, yes. You could fit more words on a page without having to flip, and the darkness and thickness of the Kindle's serif font, Caecilia, would probably really help too. I think the Kindle has more text sizes than the Sony too. I think the only reservation I would have is that the text on the 350, being a 5", is sharper than any 6" ereader I've tried, but it seems to me the advantages of a 6" win in this case.

(I use regularly the 350 and a Kobo, which is 6".)

Now, whether a 6" device is that much better compared to getting a much larger LCD-based tablet, I don't know... But there are 9.7" eink devices available. Maybe consider a 9.7" Kindle DX or Pocketbook? These sound like really good options for you.
