Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350SC (silver)
By (cnet.com) Read the full review
This is a 100% clever and well designed product which is a pleasure to use. It functions exactly as a reader would hope. Light, not cheap plastic, an excellent touch screen with clear text, a great dictionary function and a great improvement in PDF...
Well designed, light, functional

Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350SC (silver)
By (cnet.com) Read the full review
I have been reading on hand held devices for over 10 years now; from my first monochrome Palm III, to a color Sony Clie, an Asus netbook and now to a dedicated ebook reader. I am a casual reader, usually finishing a book every few weeks. I bought the...
E Ink screen, ePub support, compact size, battery life, dictionary, memory
Arguably, the Sony price premium (but only $30 over a Kindle is worth every penny for ePub support)

Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350SC (silver)
By (cnet.com) Read the full review
I feel the marketing may be directed at people who already have books and (especially) PDF documents they want to have at hand. So a bookstore, which is most important for the seller of the device, is an afterthought here. I put more value on a touch...
Features lacking on the market leaders, such as the "invisible" touch screen, the annotating capability, the handling of PDF files,also the ePub capability, and MP3 for audiobooks or music
The price is a bit high, but prices tend to drop over time. What were these devices just recently, over $400

Sony Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350)
By (pcmag.com)
Sony's been something of a bit player in the ebook reader market so far, but the company is making a big push this holiday season, with new, upgraded versions of all three of its models. Sony's newest Reader Pocket Edition (PRS-350), the smallest of...
Light, very compact. Responsive touch screen. Sharp screen contrast is ideal for reading in bright light. Simple navigation of menus and store
Expensive. No Wi-Fi or 3G
Thanks to its smallish 5-inch display, the device slips easily into a pocket or purse, and the new touch-screen interface handily navigates books or the revamped Sony bookstore. It's a great improvement on the previous model, but at $179.99 (direct),...
Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350
By Dave McClintock (computershopper.com)
Those who value a rugged, small-as-possible e-reader with a lean feature set (and won't miss wireless connectivity) might consider this pricey model a viable alternative to a Kindle or Nook.
Small, light; non-glare, E Ink touch screen; wide file-format support; superior build quality
Costs too much; screen size tight for viewing periodicals, PDFs; can't change font face; battery not user-removable; AC adapter costs extra
Double your display real estate by adding a second monitor. It's a snap: Here's how

Review: Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350SC
By Melissa J. Perenson (macworld.com)
For a small-screen e-reader, the new Pocket Edition is one of the best models you can buy--but you'll pay extra for Sony's unique touchscreen design.
In use, I found the touch navigation terrific and natural in feel. You simply touch to turn pages, and touch to get one of the 12 pop-up dictionaries, including conversion dictionaries for French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch, plus American and...
A simple row of buttons that lies beneath the screen consists of page-back and page-forward buttons, a zoom button, a font button, and an options button. At top is the power switch, while the built-in slim stylus is at the upper right

Sony PRS-350

The new Sony PRS 350 Reader looks pretty in pink or silver, but you will be impressed more by its clearer screen and noticeably improved readability. Contrast is more than 50 times better than the PRS 300, as the second generation Pocket Edition Reader...
Like the Kindle 3, the Sony PRS 350 eReader has now 2 built-in English dictionaries. Non-English readers will also find the addition of 10 translation dictionaries a plus. People with low vision will also be happy to know that they can now adjust font...
The new Pocket Edition Reader still doesn’t have any wireless connectivity, a big drawback because it doesn’t give you the convenience of book shopping directly from the device whenever and wherever you like it. Like the Kindle 3, it doesn’t have a...
The new Sony PRS 350 comes with a price tag of $179.99 – just $10 cheaper than the 3G + WiFi-enabled Kindle 3G. It may not have the convenience brought by built-in wireless connectivity, but for those looking for a more organic way to interact with...
Sony Reader PRS-350 Pocket Edition review
By (expertreviews.co.uk)
While the paperback-book size of most eBook readers suits most people, they're a little too large if you just want to slip your reading into a coat pocket and carry it everywhere with you. Fortunately, for people that want that kind of flexibility Sony...
The brilliant screen and user interface make this an ideal product to carry everywhere, but the Kindle's cheaper and has a wider range of new books available for it.

Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 review
By Melissa J Perenson, (pcadvisor.co.uk)
No matter how slick an e-reader's physical design, it's hard to resist the urge to touch the screen. Now you can easily use the screen to navigate, with the Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350SC.
For a small-screen e-reader, the new Sony Reader Pocket Edition is one of the best models you can buy - but you'll pay extra for Sony's unique touchscreen design.

Sony Pocket Reader (PRS-350)
By Hugo Jobling (trustedreviews.com)
Sony's entry level reader receives a touchscreen update.
Despite its attractive form factor, excellent display and intuitive touch-driven interface the Sony Reader Pocket can't quite compete with the Amazon Kindle. Whispernet not only makes managing eBooks easier, the Amazon eBook store is also more...
Given those considerations, as much as we like the Pocket Reader, we simply can't give it an outright recommendation.

Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 hands-on test
By Rich Trenholm (cnet.co.uk)
The addition of a touchscreen makes the 5-inch Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350 a very slick little ebook reader.
Lightweight and pocketable ; Responsive new touchscreen ; Built-in dictionaries ; Sleek design
No extra memory
The Pocket's screen is 5 inches from corner to corner, while the Touch boasts 6 inches. Both models have 2GB of memory built in, and the Touch supports memory cards for extra storage. Both can be controlled via the touchscreen with either your finger...
