Finally Found my Reader

Scarpad · 03-25-2011, 07:50 AM

I've been thru a few, the Kindle 3 was nice, but it and the Nook Color were too big and heavy to carry around. Enter the PRS-350. I previously had a PRS-505 and it was a good basic reader. The 350 slips right into my shirt pocket, the screen is e-ink pearl maybe a little below the kindle screen cause you cannot chage the font, but its only slight. The build quality is sturdy.

Congrats! I have the same model as well, and I love it.

Congratulations. I have the 350 also & really prefer reading with it. The Nook & Kindle3 are nice e-readers & I still use mine from time to time. But when I get back to using the 350 I realize how much easier it is to read with it. I am so glad I got it. ENJOY your new Sony.

You can change fonts if you install the jailbreak/PRS+ software on you reader, like described here. I have the 350 with this installed and I love it.

Congratulations on finding "your" reader! You scared me with the title, I thought you had perhaps let your precious reader out of your sight too long and it had gotten lost!

I'm going to have to pop in Waterstones tomorrow and have another look at the 350 after all I keep reading about it.

I decided on the 650 after wavering between the two, am absolutely delighted with it, but it's that "shirt pocket" bit, and the jailbreak tip sounds very interesting.

You don't need to install Prs+ to use custom fonts. There are many threads on this forum about creating epubs with custom fonts using Calibre.

Business use = ability to carry "vital" reference material around in pocket rather than suitcase...

The 350 for 129$ is a pretty good business
