For what it's worth, I have the T1 and Kindle 4, and despite what you read on the forums don't have an issue with lack of "stability" or any of those things. I do rate the T1 higher than the Kindle 4 and generally prefer to read on it instead...and items like Library Loaning via device work spectacularly on the T1, and I love the way google books is integrated.
The complaining over there seems to be encouraged by people who don't have the device, and...people turning a molehill into a mountain. Yes, I've had a crash or two since getting it at launch, but in reality it was about 20 seconds of a screen freeze followed by a dialog box requiring pushing a button that says "close." The whole process was over within 40 seconds.
Call me crazy, but I would take the minor 40 second "inconvenience" and keeping the more featured T1, over returning it and settling for something less capable. And it only started crashing because I bogged down the system by loading numerous books via microsd and didn't wait for it to finish loading before I started browsing the books. Once I learned how to better put books on the device (let it load, then go through page by page letting all the covers load individually) it's become smooth sailing. I read on it daily and haven't had a crash since.
I love the Kindle 4 (and Kindle Singles!), but recommend the T1 over it.
