PRS-T1 becomes unresponsive My refurb displays similar behavior. Sure, I could mess around with it and maybe get it to work, but why bother? It should work already. Back it goes. A friend got a T2 and I helped him convert and load some books on and immediately hit a bug where you could only add so many collections or something like that. Looked it up on the net. I just didn't expect this after the x50 range which worked really well out of the box. I'm not impressed with the firmware of the T range. |

I can just share my experience with the PRS 650, PRS T1 and PRS T2. And i'am afraid it's not the same as you. I can not join the praise for the PRS 650. IMHO the PRS 650 is as flaky as the PRS-T1 oder PRS T2. Maybe there is some kind of nostalgia, that lead people to praise the PRS 650/PRS 350.

And the thing about the no-3rd-party cases is true. I doubt anyone's gonna go to the trouble of making a special case for this, and if they do, it's gonna be expensive. |

I will wait and see what more folks think as they get the reader in hand, but I will probably get one when it goes on sale at some point. My Kobo Aura HD is great for just reading, but HORRID and UNRELIABLE for proofreading purposes!
A Sony with higher resolution and the usual good highlighting and note taking is good enough for me. Besides, I actually prefer a lighted cover for reading in complete darkness. |

IMO Sony's only competitor in the mainstream reader market for robust software are earlier versions of Sony Software. Of course I will be happy to see something better, but not holding my breath. Helen |
