So in other words Harmon, it's a pretty subjective personal opinion, and partly down to the fact you prefer Sony to Amazon ereaders full stop.... Even your comparisons are based on something you own versus something you've just had a play about with in a shop.
So it seems fair to say that "When you get your T1, the problem will be to justify your Kindle" is just a pretty throwaway comment?
Not having a go at all, I'd just love to find someone who has used both the T1 and KT and could honestly say one is better than the other for a concrete reason. Or perhaps, as I suspect, they are pretty evenly matched and any preference is going to be down to the individual?
Trying to look at it objectively, and only based upon what I've read/watched online if the Sony T1 had a tap instead of swipe to turn pages, and page turn buttons on the side instead of at the bottom, I *think* I would prefer it over the Kindle Touch, but it doesn't so.....???
