Thanks for doing this again in English I would like to know whether the Evernote app has the same functionality as the T2 version, and what can the Facebook app do?

Another thanks for doing a review in English. I've watched your video reviews before, but it was nice to understand every word for a change.
All in all a very nice device, but the lack of a built-in light means there'll be no e-reader shopping this time either. My trusty 950 will have to do until a device comes along which is somewhat closer to perfection. |

One question though: does it use ADE 1 or ADE 2? ADE 2 does hyphenation, which is far more important to me than a front light. |

A big thank you for doing the review in English. It is very helpful when trying to decide which ereader to buy. Is there any possibility you could review the Kobo Aura 6"?

I too thank you for the review in English. I doubt the physical T3 will ever be seen in retail stores in my area, so your video was very much appreciated.
Sony have been sorely lacking in their Reader advertising and physical presence in the marketplace all along. I haven't seen one in the retail stores in over 2 years when Best Buy had the T1. And if I had blinked, I probably wouldn't have seen it there either. That's how quickly it vanished, never to be seen again. I've had several Sony Readers but I've never seen another one being used in the wild. Truth be told, I've never seen anyone using a Kindle in the wild either. Or any other brand of eReader for that matter. Anyway, it looks to me like Sony was trying to duplicate the cover design of the Kindle PW, which is a very nice cover IMO. But they've made a shorter spine hinge so that it sort of flops around when folded back (as shown in the video) unlike the PW cover. Also, the inside lining of the front cover of the Sony looks very much like the lining in the Sony lighted cover I have for the T1. Not really foam, although it has a *slight* spongy quality to it. It DOES clean up very well with a dampened microfiber cloth though. Still not of the quality of past incarnations of Sony brand covers. I'm still not sure how I feel about the T3 though. Like many others, I think I'll wait for actual owner reviews and their personal experience with the model. |

Just asked this in another thread, but do you feel the front of the cover is perhaps a little flimsy and won't offer that much protection to the screen?
That is one of the bits you missed from the English version of your video (thanks for doing that second version for all us non-German speakers!). I can see you flexing the front of the cover in the first video review, but don't know what you are saying about it?! |

Sony's implementation of the front and back should provide excellent protection. Where they seem to differ is the spine, although they look similar, Kobo's is not as flexible and doesn't "wander." |
