well to give you a perspective on why hooking up a reader can be annoying: my 505 is old and that is probably why, but once I hook it up to the computer, it takes about 5mins+ for the reader to work again once I disconnect it. After that it's all fine, but even that can be an annoyance. Compare that to my phone, where I can instantly browse to my entire library, plus feedbooks, Project Gutenberg, soforth, and download a book whenever I'm connected to wi-fi, without having to turn on my computer, hook up the device, soforth. It sounds minor and I am fine with my 505, but honestly, it's really nice to be able to do all that without connecting my reader to the computer. If you keep your entire library on your reader it won't matter much but I prefer to keep my books in my cloud storage and then download once in a while, and keep my reader relatively free (probably because it's a 505 and I suspect that some of the slow-down issues have to do with keeping hundreds of books on it).
As for recommending the T1 itself, I don't have it so I cannot. I'm thinking I'll wait for the next Generation of Sony readers though. if anything I'll get a refurbished Nook. The T1 looks nice but I don't like the glossy bezel or the reported problems.
