The T1 screens I have seen are noticeably whiter in background than either my 350 or 950 - and the letters are just slightly darker. But there is variation within the same models... so I am not sure.
I was planning on buying a T1 just for the better screen, but two things are making me look at the KT:
1) No 3g on the T1. I know most people don't care... but I do. I like getting my newspapers delivered when I travel. So I am obviously looking at the 3g KT.
2) Page flipping/freezing.
On the other side, neither device seems to be perfect in how they handle annotations.
On the KT you have no stylus for handwritten annotations. Occasionally I like scribbling, so that kind of sucks.
On SONY, annotation support is poor. To export and store annotations, you need to use the Reader software, and that is an exercise in frustration.
So... KT has good support for highlighting and bookmarking, as you can sync in the cloud but no freehand annotations with a stylus... I call it a draw.
The lack of buttons on the KT is also a big drawback. Sometimes I read at the beach or when eating and don't want to touch the screen with dirty hands. On the other side, KT has tapping for turning pages, which is something I miss on my SONY. Mixed bag, again.
Well, I guess this is a long digression to say... it all comes down to the screen. I hope someone who has both can offer some insight...
