After seeing the new Kindle devices, the new Sony PRS-T1 is looking even more appealing to me. Don't get me wrong, the new Kindles look great, but the PRS-T1 has feature that are appealing to me that are missing in the Kindle: epub (a biggie, you can't find Croatian books in mobi from what I can tell), the 12 built in dictionaries (I read a lot in foreign languages), page turning using either buttons or the touch screen and I like the design of the PRS-T1. There are other things that I suspect will be missing from the Kindle as well that Sony offers (such as PDF reflow), but I won't mention them because the devices aren't being sold yet. I would have liked a metal Sony reader, but if making a plastic reader means that Sony can stay on the market, so be it. With $79 dollar Kindles on the market Sony had to bring their prices down any way they knew how to stay afloat.
