The only way to hold it with one hand would be to hold it below the buttons. That would not be very comfortable for long. I guess you could cup it in the palm of your hand, but that would cause your wrist to be turned toward you and certainly that would be painful after a few minutes. I guess the days of quality readers from Sony ended with the x50 series. I think the 950 was the best they ever made.
I agree about the buttons. Actually holding the T1 below the buttons is quite comfortable due to its lightness. I imagine the T2 would be similar. I liked the brushed aluminum of my PRS-600, and the similar buttons and surround on the T1. Perhaps someone will get the T2 software running on the T1 and we can have the best of both.
