Molman asked me to report on the Sony T1 in comparison with the KT. Now my husband has had a chance to get familiar with it, we have compared them. I think the Sony is a bit more complicated than the Kobo, at least until you get used to it, and I think the Kobo home page looks a bit more elegant than the Sony's. The big plus items that the Sony has, some of which are things I have seen people say they would like put into the Kobo in the future, are:
- ability to sort books into genres of one's own choosing.
- ability to read books as well as PDFs in landscape as well as portrait mode.
- ability to make multiple bookmarks if needed.
- ability to enlarge what you are looking at by pinching and spreading thumb and forefinger on the screen. Useful for PDFs with small print.
- ability to go back to the table of contents while within the book.
- book list without the covers so you get more to the page.
According to the blurb, but not yet tested, the battery life seems to be longer than the Kobo's, but who knows. It isn't really an issue for us anyway but I suppose it could be if you were traveling and not able to find an electricity supply/didn't have a charger.
So in summary, the Sony does have a few little extras which the Kobo doesn't have at this stage. However, I remain very happy with my Kobo and don't feel the need to change any time soon!
