Hey all,

It's been a long time since i've visited this forum.
Well, after 3 years and over 200 books, my trusty PRS-505 is tiring out on me, battery-wise and I'm finally looking to upgrade devices. I'm considering the Sony prs-T1 and the kindle touch wifi.

The reason i bought the sony back when, was because of all the formats it supports, and it's form factor. However now it seems that both devices (only two i am considering) are pretty similar.

Hopefully i can keep this brief for you guys. After reading a couple of threads, watching a couple of reviews, and going over both reader's spec pages, i've got a couple of concerns, and i would appreciate your opinions.

Sony:
-plastic (my 505 and the kindle is aluminum. Does the t1 feel cheap?)
-epub only
-swipe to turn pages (seeing as the buttons are only bottom-left, and i generally hold my reader in my right hand)
-Buggy, less user friendly

Kindle:
-Not as many features as sony
-mobi format only
-No Collections (not easily, i know about the calibre plugin)

My library is mostly LRF, from a couple years ago, and more recently i've started downloading ePub files. I use Calibre, will buying a new device and importing all my old books be a pain? If not, then perhaps having a mobi-only device would not be too bad.

PDFs and web browsing aren't important to me, and screen quality is a toss up, so long as it is better than my 505 and i can consider it an upgrade, i'll be happy. I was comfortable with my 505. I really just want the better reader, as far as content (using calibre), reliability, and durability.

thanks,
Sidd.
