lkkmaths,

Thanks for sharing your view on these E-readers.

1) The $40 may not be a big difference, I still prefer to spend it on ebooks than on some features that I may not need. Hence, I really appreciate all the replies here to justify that.

2 & 3) I also like the portability of the 350. I only know that the PRS+ is a program that a lot of members use with their X50 e-readers. I will definitely try it if I end up with the 350.

4) I agree. Wifi could be a convenient feature.

5) The audio port on the T1 could be useful if there are ebooks + audio book combo where I can listen to it while reading it.

6) Thanks. I think the 2GB storage is sufficient then. Besides, I plan to store the e-books on my computer.

7) Yes, Sony does not have the best supporting software for their product. And I do not know that the Sony ereaders are supposed to obsolete in 1 year.

8) I guess Sony expect the T1 user to get the E-reader cover to store its stylus? Since both display units did not have the stylus, I have no idea how well the stylus work at all.

Does the T1 respond signifcantly faster the 350? Would it get worse if there are more e-books stored on the 350? Also, how fast does the T1 read from the SD card?
