What I like better on the 350:

PDF-viewing:
Advantage of the T1 PDF-viewer is a more theoretical one. Users report that the T1 in case of PDF's is very slow. Especially page turning. With PRS+ zooming and panning in PDF's is very easy and makes pinch-zoom more or less dispensable (but nice to have).

Size:
Smaller and better resolution.

Hacking:
THE perfect "addon" for Sony readers (PRS+) does not work on the T1 but on the 350. For me the most important part.

Look and Feel:
The 350 just looks better...

A.

I haven't ever handled a 350, so I can't compare. But I was finally able to play with a T1 today at Target, and I really liked it. I couldn't test the browser but the other features I liked. Just waiting for them to go on sale, now.

One thing I've noticed is that the x50 versions of the book lists have the alphabet running down the right side of the table of contents, so if you know want to look for a book at the end of the alphabet (for example) and you have LOTS of books, you don't have to keep paging through them to get there.

It seems a real loss (and why?!) that they appear to have removed that from the T1 (from what I've been able to see).

Imagine - 2000 books at 9 books / page: 223 pages of TOC to flip through.

It's interesting to hear about changes between old Kinoma-based Sony Readers the Android-based PRS-T1. I personally use the scrollbar alphabet a lot. Even for shorter lists (e.g. Author List and Collections), I still tend to use the scrollbar alphabet rather than just pressing the button for the next page.

Doesn't make sense for Sony to drop this feature, though. Are you sure the books are sorted by either Author, Title or Filename on the T1? Because if it was sorted by Date Added, then the scrollbar alphabet isn't going to show up.

Sadly the alphabet scroll bar truly is gone on the T1, but it has been added back by custom firmware options in the Development forum.

Well, that's something. It really was a dumb choice to leave that out, IMO. I'm glad I'm very happy with my 650.

The only thing about the T1 that tempted me was the improved font size/font selections.

The threads about new home screens for the T1 are in the Developer's subforum (link to subforum at the top of the Sony forum page).

Its no longer collecting dust. I went back to my local Bestbuy today to see if it was reduced further. I heard that the t1 was reduced so I figured the last remaining 350 had to be reduced also. It was. $79.99. I figured that would be the best price I would pay right now for a new one.

Dont know what I will do with it. I really do not need two ereaders. I may just sell it on ebay. Though with ebays bigger take on sales and now they are taking a percentage of shipping my profit would probably be no more than $10.
