I don't have to register my laptop with Dell before I start using it. I don't have to register my coffee maker with Keurig to start using it. I shouldn't have to register what is basically the lamp I'm using to read my books with the lamp company.

I would say no to the 350. Slow, low-res, screen quality not as good as current screens, and they can be really slow with hi-res images and sometimes reboot or lock because not enough RAM.

"Slow" is a concern; I went back to a PRS-505 for a while and found that both the page turning and navigation were annoyingly slow. I'm not sure if the 350 is better. (But the real reason I gave up on the 505 was weight; it's heavier than is comfortable in one hand.) I'm also worried about battery life with the older devices.
But the screen quality is fine, and I don't read much that has images.
I'm more concerned about emoji support, since I've discovered that my pocketboook will freeze/crash in ebooks that contain some emojis. I don't know if the older readers will just nicely skip them, or freeze up trying to read characters they don't support.
