I am in between somewhat excited and ambivalent. I hate seeing the brushed aluminum go, I'd rather pay more and enjoy that. Although I was lucky enough to get my 950 on sale, I was prepared to pay the full price, because I really wanted the 7" screen, which I love.
T-1, no 7" screen, plastic casing, doesn't appear to have the new ADE with hyphenation, so I can't be terribly excited about it. Mostly, it seems to be a downgrade from my 950. However, if font sizing is better, with less of a jump between small and medium, I'd like that. More font choice is also nice.
OTOH, I do want to replace my existing original Nook with a second Sony device and this is priced right. I would really enjoy being able to directly download a library book. I can check one out with my Sony 950 if a hold comes in while I'm on vacation, but I can't download it. So that ability, given how long wait times for a hold can be, could be useful.
I'm thinking I'll buy, and then keep the 950 at home to enjoy the wonderful 7" screen, while toting the T-1 about town. The lighter weight will be nice there, and no worries about the 950 getting stolen. Also, I could use the 650 for a lot of the proofreading I do, and save the battery on the 950, which I hope to make last for years of enjoyable reading.
I do wish Sony would continue the 7" screen line, with a premium model, but it's not looking like that's happening.
