PRS-350 I Got the 350!! - Page 2

Hooray, Shopaholic!

I couldn't resist the temptation. With the $129 sale & 15% accessories coupon, I bought the pink 350 with lighted cover too! Well, the pink color pushed my decision over the edge. I love the "pink-purple-berry-whatever you want to call it" color. It will be great to throw into my handbag and carry it around everywhere. Then I don't have to worry about being so cautious about handling damage to my 950.

You are so naughty, you make me want one, too!! I looked longingly at the Pink Ribbon Edition today... but how can I justify it when I already have a 350?

Do you notice the extra-crispiness of the 350 font, B_G?

Just a little bit with the default Sony fonts and probably only because I was looking for it. I thought it was more apparent when I tried a book with Charis SIL as an alternate font since that font is bolder than the Sony default. Also it's more obvious when using the light since that makes the background look more white (and less gray) so the text stands out more.

I know, I do feel naughty! As if I really need another ereader... Your posts always make me laugh, Poppaea! I suppose it is a little hard to justify a new 350 when you already have one. Have you looked at DecalGirl skins to give your 350 some extra personality? I think they ship internationally. Also I did a google image search on "Victorian Valentines" and found some cute images to use as screen savers that look great with the girly pink color.

I feel a lot better now about having gotten a brand new 650 only a couple of months after getting a 505 (my first device).

*whisper* My little one aka 350 has different outfits to dress up for the occasion. The blue lighted case, business like, no-nonsense attire, the green-sand coloured one, for being on the casual side or Safaris, one red Cover-up case (real leather) for more snobbish outings and a girlie-pinkie one for the frilly moments of life! */whisper*

Thanks Bookworm Girl. I love the pink/purple/berry too! I think the pink striping around the edges make it look pinker. I didn't go for the lighted cover because I'm not crazy about them and I have a bunch of booklights that I like already so I just got the regular pink cover.

I got it in Canada for $40 (ouch!) but the only reason I did rather than buy it in the US is because the guy at one Sony store switched the silver for the pink for us so I gave him the extra business of buying the case there.

I like your idea of Victorian Valentines for a screensaver and will do a search on that to see the images. I have pics of my birdy babies on it. I'm really loving it. I'm too busy reading to have played with all the options on it yet. LOL

I do wish there was an option to set the time before the unit goes into sleep mode though. I like on the 300 that it was an hour, this one is always on or 10 minutes. Oh well, not a big deal.

LOL @ Poppaea!! You already have a 350 and you want another 350??? Ok, now that's bad! LOL I thought I was bad wanting a new reader after barely a year.

I do understand the desire though.

I was eyeing that Pink Ribbon edition too.

I brought the 300 to the friend I sold it to last night and helped her set it up. She got a good deal - $90 for the pink 300 with original box, documentation, neoprene cover and the cable of course, black sony book case, red M-Edge zip case, M-Edge light, a clip on light, a microfibre cloth, a PSP AC charger which is SO important and an already applied skin from Decal Girl. I even had 50 classics books on a USB that I helped her put on the reader. She was happy and I was happier to share in the joy of reading.
