The thing is that with them not putting in a light and probably pricing it as high as models that do have a light you have to wonder if it will sell well or if it will cause Sony to decide that they're done with the reader market, like they've done with other things. That would be a shame.
I personally am fine having a reader without a light (don't really use the one on the Aura HD), even if a lot of the market seems to want one, so the T3 is probably close to the perfect device for me, but I'd have to get more familiar with Sony's newer firmware before deciding to buy (I really wish you could tap to turn).

I don't find the price too high and if like other years it will be $99 by Christmas and probably $79 by spring.
I would like the option of purchasing either cover or buying without cover and getting the lighted one instead. I am not really that into covers anyway, but the basic cover is a sleep cover AFAIK which might be handy as it would save where and tear on the on/off switch if indeed there is still an on/off switch?.
Perhaps if I look on the original cover as a backup in case the lighted cover stops working. (I need an attached light of some sort for reading on the balcony at night. )
And yes I would also like tap to turn, but buttons are okay too.
