Of course, Amazon is doing premium features at entry-level prices but that's just Amazon's volume at work. Still, Kobo doesn't have Amazon's volume-buying power, but *they* did read the market right.

Still, my T1 should tide me over until the T3 gets front-lighting next august.
I'm sticking to my 650 for the next year. I'll then see what's out and maybe upgrade.
