I, too, have a 950, and while I prefer my T1, there are circumstances in which the 950 is nice to read on.
But I just wanted to comment on my reaction to this thread, because it illustrates one of the big reasons why Amazon's inferior EBRs will continue to outsell anything Sony makes. It's not just the Kindle Store.
With the Kindles, your EBR operates "out of the box." Amazon even sets up the connection to your Amazon account. It only takes a few minutes to figure out how to buy books & get them on your EBR. You don't need to have access to a computer to start using a Kindle.
But with the Sonys, there's a song & dance involved, and things can easily get messed up.
So when my friends ask me about what EBR to buy, I generally tell them that the Sonys are, to me, nicer to read on, but require more care & feeding, which most people are not prepared to be doing. Of course, the tradeoff is that the Kindle is less open than the Kindle, and once you figure out how to work things on the Sonys, they provide a nicer reading experience, in my view.
But a product which requires an intelligent person to seek assistance in setting up is going to lose out in the long run.
