I've had my 650 for getting close to two years now and while it does lack a light I have never ever had a freeze, or a spontaneous reboot or a problem with the battery draining overnight or slowdowns with a lot of books or anything like that! It's unfortunate that Sony never had the vision to back up their great hardware. To me their bookstore is a desolate desert and their yearly reader revisions (although great quality wise) always seem designed to fight the last war rather than the next one so to speak.
I think that my 650 is still good enough for me to wait at least another product release before jumping in and getting a new reader.
(by the way I use the PRS+ custom software and that also makes all the difference in the world).

Always being a nostalgic but sorry I do not agree. T1 vs T2 is to question, but 650 vs T2 no way
T2 is like reading a book super white, the 650 grey background only worth to buy a T2 for one buck.
Also... on 650 I could not highlight, after a while the device was becoming really slow with bookmarks and notes, the T2 is really fast.
More it has internet(readable under the sun with teethering), and you can chose and order download your books on the go with kobobooks, the sony store or what you like.
also e-reader means electronic reader... making the reading experience electronic, not add necessarly light, because I never read a paper book in the dark. ok innovation is super, but so far any reader in the world complained because could not read without an hard copy of a book without an inbuilted lamp. Sorry everybody in the world is fetish about ereaders, they always say oh the pleasure to touch the paper is amazing, i could never substitute(please who do not know someone said that?) so what is the problem, for century the light was not essential, I can bring a clip, a candle, now it looks that we cannot survive without an inbuilt light to read.....
