The 505 was a great ereader. However, after the new firmware update, my T1 is performing great. It is now stable and doesn't crash. It's not too surprising that they had a firmware issue since they totally redesigned it for the T1. Therefore, I am not too upset since they were relatively quick to fix it. The new Reader desktop software, which is also a major redesign, still needs some work.

The page flash doesn't bother me any more than it did on my other Sony models. However, I know some people are more sensitive to it. When I have tested other ereaders, I found the once every 6 pages flash to be more distracting. Just my personal preference.

I would try to find a store nearby that sells both the T1 and the new Kindle to test them out and see which one you prefer. Maybe Currys has both on display?
