My Sony 350 has about 200ppi resolution, that's not far below the new high res screens. And no "overlays" to compromise the crispness. With the lighted cover, very nice lighting, certainly more even than I've so far seen on Nook Glo or Kindle Paperwhite in person.
It cost me all of $80, refurbished and has had no issues of any kind.
Oh yeah, and I have the option of using touchscreen OR buttons to turn pages.
I've seen nothing about the newer readers that inclines me to buy as yet. My text is sharp and crisp. My lighting is good, without worrying over colored blotches and shadows at the bottom of the screen. The form factor is small and easy to carry around. It's gorgeous looking. And I can tag all my books in Calibre and have that instantly translated to collections when I load them.
I do like my T1 better for note taking, it's faster and the interface for notes is better than the 350.
Newer isn't always better, it really depends on the individual's needs. As far as I am concerned, both my 350 and T1 are very fine readers. Yes, I might like a front lit solution, but I haven't seen one yet that looks good to my eyes or surpasses my 350 in it's lighted cover.
