I found a fairly inexpensive replacement battery on Amazon (I checked just in case), but point taken.
The newer displays would definitely be nice, it's true. Faster page turns would definitely be great.
The T2 is physically a fair bit larger than the T3, so I think I'd probably prefer the T3. You're right, I should look more carefully at the size of the Icarus, I do want something a bit on the svelte side. Hrm. Maybe I'll just go grab a book off my bookshelf I haven't read in a while and go back to the old fashioned method of enjoying my mind
*sigh* And what is it with these ereader companies and not bringing their ereaders to the US?
