But since Sony was first in and had a better product, they also have themselves to blame for not capturing the market... The market was Sony's to lose, and they did lose it despite having superior hardware (IMVHO.) But, I'm done with it... I did in fact replace my 650's battery, but to answer the thread topic's question, I am now a Nook user and have not lost anything thanks to the advice of other forum users. |

I received my T3 about two weeks ago and am now switching between my 650 and the T3. I must admit, the T3 is responsive, fast and has a very nice display. Very impressed with it.

I bought a Kobo Aura this morning and couldn't be happier. Well, ok, I'd love it to be all aluminium like my old 650, but it really is a perfect device.
I love the smooth screen. No more crumbs in the bezel for me, now! The capazitive touch I so dreaded in theory works like a charm. The possibilities to change fonts, font sizes and text alignment alone make it worth every penny. And the light is awesome. I had a Verso light on my Sonys and thought it to be very sophisticated but this is a class of its own. If only I had carved earlier! |

Gave away our 2xPRS350's and bought 2xKindle Paperwhite 2's --they are best e-book readers we have ever owned. Clear and crisp day or night --front lite e-ink is the way to go IMO.

Used to have a PRS 650. Moved to a Kobo Aura HD a few months ago when they came to India. It's the best e-ink experience in my opinion. The store, the larger screen size which allows for more text and a real book feel, crisp screen, even lighting, etc. all go towards making it an excellent device.

I went to a Kindle PW1. Still think Sony has a better reader, but..oh well.

I switched to Kobo, started with the Mini when it was on sale for $35, loved the portability but was still using my T2 at home until I caved to the back lights on the Glo and Aura. My PRS600 and my T2 still live on though! I have gifted them to friends who love and use them every day.

My other ebook reader is...another Sony (i have a T2 and a T3, plus a 650 that i rarely use now). They are too good to be replaced by some other ereader.
