If you look on it as a reader pure and simple it's a winner, hands down.

P.S.

Are we sure the problems are SONY's fault and not the Android OS ??
Sony at some level must be responsible for the stability of their device. That includes picking the right tool for the job. The version of Android they use has source available.

That said, I haven't found huge instability other than their app itself. At that point it's hard to tell where the bug may be, but even app developers are expected to work around platform bugs from time to time.

Although in my mind, really the only major alternative to the Sony readers is the Kindle. The Nook software was incomplete and crashed more than my T1. The Kobo was simply woefully incomplete and treated side loaded books as second class citizens. And the Kindle is wrapped up in proprietary formats that Amazon doesn't want to share with the other children. It's really about picking the poison you can live with right now, and not so much about devices with rock-solid experiences right now (although the x50s were very close).
