When I saw the KT's today, I admit I was tempted enough to cancel my T1 order, but after some thought I decided the KT just isn't for me. I'd rather spend a little more and have the micro sd option and the physical page turn buttons. I don't always use them on my 650, but they are handy when I do. And this might not be an important option to most, but to me it's a big deal: book covers. I love that the Sony gives me the option to view my library in book covers instead of just a list of titles. I am more apt to remember the cover of a book I want to read than the title. I don't know if the new KT's do this, but from the images I've seen so far, it doesn't look like it. The only time I see book covers on the KT is in the Kindle Store screenshots.
Sony called me while I was typing this out. I had emailed them about undoing the cancellation on my original T1 order. They let me re-order over the phone (the red one this time, instead of the black) and upgraded my shipping for free! Now I'm happy I cancelled the order in the first place because I was paying extra on it for 2-day shipping. Now I'm a much happier camper, even though my T1 won't be here for a few more weeks.
