I too thank you for the review in English. I doubt the physical T3 will ever be seen in retail stores in my area, so your video was very much appreciated.
Sony have been sorely lacking in their Reader advertising and physical presence in the marketplace all along. I haven't seen one in the retail stores in over 2 years when Best Buy had the T1. And if I had blinked, I probably wouldn't have seen it there either. That's how quickly it vanished, never to be seen again.
I've had several Sony Readers but I've never seen another one being used in the wild. Truth be told, I've never seen anyone using a Kindle in the wild either. Or any other brand of eReader for that matter.
Anyway, it looks to me like Sony was trying to duplicate the cover design of the Kindle PW, which is a very nice cover IMO. But they've made a shorter spine hinge so that it sort of flops around when folded back (as shown in the video) unlike the PW cover. Also, the inside lining of the front cover of the Sony looks very much like the lining in the Sony lighted cover I have for the T1. Not really foam, although it has a *slight* spongy quality to it. It DOES clean up very well with a dampened microfiber cloth though. Still not of the quality of past incarnations of Sony brand covers.
I'm still not sure how I feel about the T3 though. Like many others, I think I'll wait for actual owner reviews and their personal experience with the model.
