Glad you've got something you're happy with. I'll just mentione a couple of points that are UK-specific, in case anyone else has the same question in the future.

Yes, you can - another reason to avoid Kindle, IMO. Both the Sony and the Kobo work with UK libraries, but the Kindle doesn't, and judging from the row brewing with publishers re Kindle lending, isn't likely to do so in the near future. Plus it means paying Amazon an annual fee.

I bought the T1 because I wanted the extra features, such as annotation and collections. However, if these weren't important, I'd be looking seriously at the Kobo now that the price has come down so much (£49 in Asda currently; think this lasts till 11 April), especially if it was going to be a secondary device.
I recently helped a relative who'd bought the basic Kobo, and I really didn't find any of the issues mentioned by some of the earlier posters. I thought the page turns were fine; the font sizes were limited, but acceptable; and it was easy to find books even without collections. The page numbering was a bit odd in the books that came with it (by chapter rather than book), but normal in any I loaded myself.
