Update: just got it today.. not too bad.. pretty fast shipping from TX to CA.
The reader is flawless.. no scratches, no dings.. 100% factory refurbished.
Moving from 350 to T1-
* larger size
* lighter
* more flexible fonts
* more flexible interface - pinch zoom is handy for pdf
Setup was really easy - calibre is the champ -- I don't use the sony Reader Library program (using Mac OSX)
- Server content nice.
more flexible if you use

If you don't you get the mobile format less options to see stuff.
Overall I like it.
I sewed a soft case for now.. had extra felt lying around. Holding it without a cover is nice. -- lightweight
There is *some* glare but I am indoors, from the frame bezel, but not too much.
I put in a 2GB microSD.., but frankly unless I root it I would be fine with the stock memory, as my PRS-350 wasn't even full and I had over 200 books to keep me busy.
I can imagine rooting it and putting more stuff on there and needing more storage.
But for now I can't imagine "needing" to root it.
I have too many other techno tools iphone, ipad etc to need another tablet, but good to have an option.
I am sure if I had used the Sony software for my 350 the bookmarks on my books would have come across.
... now to get reading.. :-)
and find out how to make custom images.
It is a nice option to have the current book cover as a screensaver, by default that is the setting.
