I absolutely LOVE my T1! I believe it's the best reader on the market, bar none. And it was so easy to make a great ereader into a great reader/tablet, with the quick and simple rooting procedure. I was able to download all sorts of terrific, free apps, and even customize my homepage, (thanks to Morkl over at the developers forum; took about two minutes) The end result is that I now have an outstanding Android-powered tablet computer for a mere $129, which does pretty much anything/everything a "real" tablet does. I can surf the net, read newspapers from around the world, show the weather forecast on my desktop, use it as a calculator, calendar, go straight to Wikipedia, play games, (I love Sudoku, Chess, Cribbage, Euchre, Blackjack, Solitaire) check my email, (Facebook/Twitter, etc. for those so inclined) store photos/documents, listen to music, and best of all....READ. (I currently have about 4,000 books on it!) I even have a terrific app that allows me to save interesting articles to read later offline.

Drawbacks? Well, there are two aspects of my T1 "tablet" that some may consider a negative, but not I. First, the lack of a colour screen, and secondly, the fact that it won't play video.

I love that my beloved T1 is now about the thinnest, lightest "tablet" available today; it can basically fit in my pocket. The touch screen performs brilliantly. And there you have it. It is an affordable, yet extremely well-made reader/tablet computer. It takes a grand total of about 10 minutes to very easily transform the Sony PRS-T1 into a functioning, quality tablet computer. I am not sure how I ever managed without it!
