Well I bought one and it is charging as we speak.
I went to a Future Shop that had it and the new Aura on display and I liked the T3 the best
The new Aura looks nice with the flush screen, but I liked the aspect ratio of the Sony T3 bezel better and the less shiny screen. I'll admit the built in light is nice for some, but it bothers my eyes and is pretty hard to adjust on my Aura HD. And the T3 back feels much better as well.
The T3 is bigger than my mini, but still very pocket sized and feels very light.
Now I must back up the reader with an image and wait for it to charge
