I love my Sony PRS-350s, all three of them. But here's something to watch out for: there should be 4 little dots on the power slide switch. They're plastic (like the switch itself) and are there to serve as grip for your finger or fingernail.
On two of my 350s, most of the grip dots are gone. I don't recall my fingernail tearing off any of them, but it must have. The slide motion is balky with friction in both of them, so it's likely I had to tug too hard with my fingernail.
Be wary of this in purchasing, and later in using. The switch slides easily on my good one, I don't need to use a fingernail, but that one's been babied, used indoors in a lighted case. Electronic contact cleaner helps a little on the two balkier switches, but it's been a real turnoff to using those two readers, struggling to make them power up.
(My 505 has a metal power switch, with metal grip dots.)
