I went & got another T1 at Best Buy tonight. Just couldn't hold out any longer. It is registered & charging now. I haven't downloaded the firmware update yet. I'll probably do it tomorrow when I 'm less tired. First I'm going to try it out & see if i need to though.
One thing I found upsetting is the way Best Buy has the Sony's presented. Not a one worked. The T1 was frozen on book loading & the 350 was frozen on a blank page. All the other readers were fully functional. and when I asked for one, the salesperson kept trying to sell me the 350. I finally told him again that that wasn't the T1 & I already have one. Then it took him 10 minutes to find one. Finally had to get a manager who went right to it. Seems the box was so narrow & didn't look like any of the other reader boxes.
I guess since they only had 2 in the store it was just as well they didn't work.

Not good the week before Christmas.
