The Sony Reader Pocket Edition PRS-350SC with 5.7 x 4.1 x 0.33-inch is quite the cutie compared to the 7.5 x 4.8 x 0.33-inch Kindle.
After you get over the petiteness of the device, the impressive feel is the second thing you’ll notice. The aluminum clad reader feels incredibly solid, and its plastic edges seem to give it a bit of protection. Ports-wise, Sony’s kept the Reader fairly bare – there’s a mini USB jack on the bottom edge, a power switch along the top and a stylus ejects from the right side. You have to step up to Sony’s Touch or Daily Editions to get the SD card, MemoryStick and 3.5mm headphone jacks.
There’s really no surprises when it comes to the performance of the 5-inch 800 x 600-resolution, 16-level gray scale E Ink Pearl display. The page turns are faster than the previous generation, but in our side-by-side comparison with the new Kindle, Amazon’s solution was a hair faster to turn pages in most cases. In all honesty, the difference is really minimal, and not enough of a reason to pick one over the other. Still there’s a short flicker when you turn pages, and as expected, the display is quite crisp and readable indoors and out.
