If you primarily read all text books, then the Sony still does a pretty good job. The lighted covers are not easy to find though.

A 5" screen is abysmal for text books. Most text books are PDF and they will be garbage on a 5" eInk screen. Also, the 350 is old and slow with a low resolution Pearl screen. There's also a chance the battery has had it. Basically, the 350 is not worth it. Given that it won't run with some eBooks with hi-res graphics or if it does run, it can run very very very slow when displaying hi-res graphics. Also, the version of RMDSK is old. There's no hyphenation. The 350 is just going to cause you no end of problems. So don't bother trying to find one.
The smallest decent Reader with a front light is 6".
