You do have to setup a UN/PW before you can start using Windows.
But you do have to register Readers. That's the way it is.

"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.

The 350 is slow. And if you have hi-res graphics, it can be slower then slow. That is if it doesn't reboot or lock. It won't brick, but you would have to reboot and maybe not read that book.

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.

Emoji support? That depends on the font being used. The 350 cannot support this as you cannot use a font of your choice unless you embed in the ePub.
