After much dithering, asking many questions, looking at tablets, apps, other readers, and even my iPad, I finally decided on a dedicated e-reader. Much as it pains me to give up on my Sony T-1 (tired of carrying a paper clip and the screen is getting a little dimmer), I've just gotten a KPW. I was looking forward to buying a T-3 this summer during a trip to Montreal, but it just doesn't make sense to me now since Sony is abandoning ship. I was very close to buying a Nexus 7, but a tablet would be a major distraction to me.
After a few days, I can say that I've fallen in love with the screen and find the contrast a big improvement. With the Amazon leather cover, it's way heavier than the Sony, but I like the protection as I use it a lot and take it everywhere. I miss the ease of Calibre sorting, but have resigned myself to converting and sideloading a few books at a time into PW collections as I get ready to to read them. I am also happy to see that library borrowing is no problem, a big issue with me as I am blessed with three library systems to choose from and get a lot of my books that way.
Much as I like my new reader, though, how I miss Sony. I won't beat this dead horse further, but it's a shame that they mishandled marketing, distribution and development for what should have been the leading ereader in the field. Oh, well.
