Hopefully they'll be a little more organised this time. Though as I plan to wait until the Paperwhite is available too, I'd imagine Waterstones and Tesco will be the same as WH Smith, not guaranteed to get demo models straight away.

That's interesting, whereabouts are you in the UK? I found the Glo in Watford WHS very soon after launch - then, after playing with it, purchased online.
I've currently got the PW 1 but am looking forward to leaving Kindle world and getting collections working with Calibre again without the need to jailbreak and generally mess around. I was considering the Sony T3 but am concerned that not being front lit, the screen will be mid grey again and lacking in contrast on cloudy UK days.
