Welcome to Mobileread.

Only curious: Have you thought of upgrading to a more modern ebook Reader?

Given the age of the Kobo Mini, the battery may not be in good condition.

The Mini does not have page turn buttons like a 350.

I have a nice silver Sony 350 I'm willing to part with. I also have a Kobo Mini. Cases for each. No guarantee on battery life on either.

No buttons is a feature of the Kobo Mini.

I'm currently using a Kobo Clara BW, but I really like the way ebooks look on the PRS-350 without the extra layers for lighting. I think the Kobo Mini is a little bit newer and has no lighting? Also the software on the sony is a bit old and I noticed a bug where it sometimes skips an entire paragraph when I flip to the next page until I resize the text and then it's back to normal.

I don't mind performing a battery replacement.

My 350 is still in great condition. I just wanted to replace with newer 5" screen reader that doesn't have lighting. How much are you asking for the mini?
