I am in the market for a new e-ink reader, so I was very interested in the announcements today. I liked the price of $99 for a reader, but I do have some reservations.

1. I don't like advertisements anywhere on my reader. So if I went with no SO on the kindle the price is $139.

2. I wanted a memory card slot on the reader. The T1 has a slot, the Kindle doesn't.

3. The Amazon store is indeed a better option right now than the Sony store, but there are other places to buy books online.

So, after all of that, it comes down to whether or not I mind paying $10 more for the Sony T1. The answer for me is yes. I am going to wait though until I can hear some hands-on reviews before I complete the sale.
