I haven't used the KT, although I have played around with one at Best Buy. So the only extended usage experience I have is with the KK, which does have the advantage of 3G connectivity. It is pretty easy to prefer the T1 to the KK on size alone.
I have always generally preferred the Sony EBRs to the Kindle EBRs, even though the Kindles have a better ecosystem, what with the Amazon store & whispernet. I find myself buying books from Amazon, then stripping the DRM & reading them on my Sonys.
About all I can say is that the T1 feels better in my hand than the KT does, and the screen/text seem more comfortable to my eyes. There may be objective reasons for this, but I can't identify them so it might be partially or even totally subjective. I do have to say that I don't like the color of the Kindle, so that is undoubtedly one of the factors.
