With Kindle, I guess I'd have to look at various hacks. I had one borrowed for a few days and it was okay, but I missed lots of settings I'm used to. A physical keyboard is a plus.

It only supports ePub, PDF, and TXT, not sure that is a deal breaker for you.
Yes, I've been looking at it and kinda liked it, but having to convert everything to ePub... yeah, it's an option too, but I wouldn't be too happy about it. (TXT is useless because of its lack of formatting and PDF is... well, PDF). Some of the previous Sonys have a DOC support, don't they? At least I think I read it somewhere. If the T1 had that too, it would be a strong contender.
