What on Earth made you buy such ancient devices?

I'm currently reading on a T1, my wife has a 950, my daughter has a T1 we've had no issues with them, they may be ancient but they do what we want which is to read.

You do know that the 300 has an old version of RMDSK that does not support full justification and it's not going to be a nice to read with. So please do not give the 300 to anyone. It's old, it's slow, the screen is small, and the software is rather old.
And as Harry has mentioned, the batteries could be an issue.
You'd have been better off getting two Kobo Glo HDs for the kids.

I think a 300 is a good first reader if he doesn't use it I'm not out a lot, the older more responsible kid gets the T1. If I find they use them and enjoy them I will gladly upgrade to more modern devices. Right now I've invested less than half the cost of a glo HD to test the waters.
