Some things are better on one reader than another. The grass is always greener in some way.
When I bought my mother a kindle I used it for a week while I was setting it up as she was 85 and on the opposite coast and I wanted to be able to help her by phone.
I had a Sony 600 which had a far inferior display and shorter battery life. I much preferred the touch interface and the collection managing capabilities and the page numbers on the Sony though.
Within a week of sending my mother her kindle I was once again content with my Sony. The 650 came out with a kindle 3 quality display, and battery, but by then I was happy enough with my 600 that I decided not to spend the $299.
I did not buy a T1 either, but I received one as a Christmas gift from my roommates. No complaints except I think the 650 was nicer.
Then I went on an ereader buying binge when the prices dropped. Go figure. First a 350 because of the size and quality and then a Kobo mini because of the size and price, and the lovely packaging. Then an Aura because I hadn't bought anything in the gadget line for a few months.
I gave the 600 away and sold the 350 to a friend who desperately wanted it.
But the moral of this line of gibberish is that I would still be reading away happily on my 600 if gifts and prices and shiny appearances etc. hadn't seduced me away.
They are all great and none is perfect although my Sony 600 was pretty close in my mind.
