Sony just made better e-readers than Kobo, IMO.
I have an H2O. It has a front light. I have a T1. It does not have a front light. The H2O is very clear. The light does not make the H2O fuzzier than a T1. The H2O is actually easier to read from than the T1. The Carta screen is better than Pearl even with the front light off. I disagree with everything you've said. In my experience, I would go for the H2O over any of the Sony T series. The T series is slow and with hi-res images, the T series is very slow. With a lot of eBooks these days, it will take a lot longer to get to reading. It is very slow to get the ePub opened and displaying the cover. Then becomes very slow displaying the title page. Also, the options are limited and the typesetting is not as good. The T series was good in it's day, but it's day is done.

One issue with buying a T series Reader is that you won't know how good the battery is. The battery could very well be shot. If you buy say a new T2, it's been sitting there unused for some time and the battery could be flat and the battery does not like sitting there for too long being flat.
