T1 The Good - the Bad - the Ugly

I just got my new T1 as well as the cover with included light (PRSA-CL10B).

Here's my thoughts:

The good:
  • very nice GUI overall
  • Create collections directly on the T1
  • Buy books over wifi
  • Reactive touch screen
  • Good readability
  • It's running Android :-)
  • Google and Wikipedia search from within a book
  • Very nice cover
  • Different fonts built in
  • You can loan books
  • Good choice of font sizes

The bad:
  • The time for sleep mode cannot be changed
  • Only one book in the "continue reading" list
  • Page buttons on the wrong side. (This is actually very annoying!)
  • You cannot loan books in most countries

The ugly:
  • There's no place to store the pen. Not even on the cover.

Overall I'm very happy with my T1. I'm especially glad I spent the extra 50$ (or so) for the cover. I know that other people have issues with crashes but so far my reader has not crashed while:
  • reading some books
  • making some notes and annotations
  • buying some books via wifi in the Sony store (from Norway with our company address in the US, but what you gonna do :-) )
  • syncing with Calibre
