I can't comment accurately on the PDF issue as I do not have a KTouch. (I own a Kindle Keyboard and a brand new T1.) However, PDF support on the Sony seems to be generally better than other e-ink devices based on anecdotal reports here on the forum and elsewhere.

As for the library - the T1 can access libraries directly from the device. I believe you can access the library via the Kindle's browser, but it's not a supported feature the way it is in the T1.

Even though most US libraries offer both epub and Kindle books now, availability for epub is better and more consistent. Also, one particular publisher has started requiring that the Kindle version of their library books be sideloaded with USB rather than allowing them to be sent wirelessly via Whispernet, so keep that in mind. If library lending is something you'll be doing frequently, and a consistent experience is important to you, stick with the T1.

I love my Kindle dearly, but the T1 is just better for some stuff.
