And the complaining IS by people who have T1s. And the page flipping & freeze was just from reading a book (even the freebies put on by Sony). 40 minutes in & it would start. And I wasn't pressing hard. That kind of pressure would cause a normal pages forward.
That said I loved the T1 & will likely try again later. But I also pre-ordered a Kindle Touch weeks ago. I have Sony 350 & a Kindle3 right now. I prefer reading with a touch screen so it is my reader of choice.

I remember reading about yours, and I suspect you were the victim of a bad batch, or possibly your reading habits aggravate some possible bug in the software. I've never had a crash while reading a book, but I usually read about an hour or so and then take a break, putting the reader to sleep etc. And I generally use buttons, although as an experiment I've switched to swipe only for the past 2 weeks - and I've still haven't had a crash yet.
I'm curious though - how many books did you have on your reader, and did you let all the covers load? I find I have to, otherwise they load in the background eating up resources and bog the system down. It sounds like a memory leak to me, and maybe putting it to sleep every so often frees up the memory..so people like me don't notice the bug. I don't know, but I tend to sideload all the books manually, and then spend about an hour (or that's what it took last time I loaded 1,200 books on internal memory atleast) going page by page so all the covers can load.
