Kobo
  • No regular epub dictionary support at the time it came out.
  • It has a quilted back.
  • It's seemed slow
  • No Collections
  • It's also really buggy:
    Storage error, Battery problem...etc
    (fixed in latest firmware)
  • The Company is outside the U.S.
  • Kobo's Customer support.

Nook
  • I didn't like the shape of it
  • Weird page turn buttons
  • 750mb space is designated for B&N books only.
  • It's only slightly lighter then my Kindle.
  • Didn't like how non B&N books on SD Card are organized.

The T1 is really sleek, thin and light and that is a big thing for me. It's the perfect replacement for my Pocket Pro. My Pocket Pro weighs the same and I can use one hand to read on it because it's so light. My K3 is heavy and I have to prop it on something after awhile. Sony is a known brand name and has always made solid readers even though I never like them before I love the look of this one.
