You don't have to own something to know about it. I know about the T series. I've read enough. I own a T1. So yes, I have some experience with the T series. I know that the T2 is just a T1 with a different bezel and the T3 is a has a different bezel and higher resolution and a newer ADE that does hyphens. But, other than that, they all use the same amount of RAM and the same processor and are all slow.

Buying a T series Reader would be a waste of money. They won't be enjoyable to use. Getting the light cover is either difficult or expensive. A Kobo has more features, is faster, higher resolution, newer ADE, newer screens, and faster. Nothing is better about the T series.

Remember PRS+? That was because some wanted their Sony Reader to do more than it culd out of the box. The Kobo patches are because some people want to customize how their Kobo works.

Both Sony & Kobo work out of the box. It's just some want things to work differently.
