Actually they could be. In Japanese, one way to say 4 sounds like "death" (the same goes with 9 and "pain"). So hotels, hospitals... avoid 4 and 9 when numbering the rooms.
Regarding the new Sony, until recently it was only a guess that it will be indeed a T series model. Like many people I now prefer an ereader with a built-in light (believe me, it attracts less mosquitoes than an external light
). I could still buy a device without it, but the other specs have to be really good and the price has to be on the low side.
So far, we don't know for sure what to expect from the external light, the resolution isn't even HD and the price is higher than what I would pay. But with the price and the light (and likely the firmware), Sony are true to themselves and I tip my hat to that
