You can find the T1 at Target, Best Buy and Fry's Electronics. Target has a large ereader display with demo models and lots of accessories now. I bought mine at Target. My Target has both the black and white models. My Fry's carries the red in-store too.
Those photos in that post aren't representative of everyone's experiences. I have a T1 and a K3. I like them both, and I use them both daily. The T1 screen is fine and has clear text, and I spend more time reading books on it than my K3. Many people don't like the Sony default font compared to the Kindle fonts. The T1 has built-in font options, and I prefer Amasis to the Sony default. There was a touchscreen freeze issue, but Sony issued a firmware update and now my T1 is stable and doesn't crash anymore. It's a great device. I recommend you check one out at the store.
