The weak point of 350s is the plastic on/off switch. If you get grit in them, like I did in two that were beach e-readers, the switch doesn't slide as well, and tugging fingernails can wear down those little plastic knobs, to the point where there's nothing to grab. I wish I could use them still, but it's a bit too much of a struggle to turn them on.

I've tried blobs of glue and melting bits of 3D printer filament. Still haven't found a fix.

The earlier Sony PRS-505 has a similarly designed switch, but made of metal.
