For me, the wifi library is what gets me completely giddy. Five minutes ago, I just borrowed Carol Shields Unless from my public library without having to leave my house or download to my computer. I simply hit the "public library" button, selected my library, looked for the book, saw it was available and hit "download", now for the next 3 weeks I can read it. (I am allowed up to 20 titles at a time). To me it is sweet.

And I've done all my sideloading via calibre. It manages my books well. So far in the 2 weeks I've owned this I've discovered more things that make it more delightful to me.

The browser capabilities are very basic and suit my bookreading needs. I have no desire to play "Angry Birds" on it, or anything other than download books I've bought or borrowed. For me, it's worth the price because the search is over for a reader that does this plus that in the e-reading universe.

The T1 also plays mp3 files but I haven't even explored that. I also got a Sansa Clip+ this month for Christmas and that meets all my listening needs. So if anyone asks me what it sounds like, I'm as ignorant as they come, because I am too lazy to drag my earbuds out to plug in to see. My e-reading is entirely about the visual.

I had to laugh when I saw one review complain that it was not in color. I couldn't care less. I just want my books, and I want an e-reader that doesn't constantly change in how it works (the Kobo Touch I gave to my husband constantly has new features added and stuff.) The T1 is for me something I can see being happy with over the long term.
