Let's see:

- they both have the same screen

- with light gray adhesive tape around the screen I made my T1 look exactly like Kindle - the color advantage of Kindle is gone.

- T1 better fits into a pocket.

- I have a 32GB card in my T1 right now. Where to put it into Kindle?

- can you even make wide enough margins (left/right: 1.5-1.7 cm each) for landscape on Kindle?
T1 is pretty flexible as it comes to margins, in CR3 currently is a wider range than in FBReader, though. But with both it can be extended by additionally specifying margins for the default paragraph. So enough with both.

- with T1 you can read any format you may want, including both DRM protected mobi and epub books:
If you want to read free books - it is T1, you can read with CR3 or with FBReader whatever you like. Can you read without converting the two main ebook standard formats: epub and fb2 on Kindle?
if you want to buy books - it is T1, as you can buy both Kindle mobi and epub books and read them on T1. Can you read DRM protected epubs (or any epubs) on Kindle?
