Well after going to check out the Kobo's on boxing day, the store had them turned on but not set up yet. The only option I could try was to set one up via wifi but all the available wifi networks needed a password. So, in short, I got to see how 1 page flipped and could read a list of wifi networks. That's all. I'm a hands on kind of person though so I wont buy one until I can actually have a proper play with it. I did like the size of the H20 though.
On the bright side, I found a youtube video showing how to bypass some sort of battery overheat chip in the T1 by soldering a wire between two points. So I gave it a try and it has fixed my T1. I can read again!
Since Sony problems have been mentioned, for the last couple of years my T1 has had a problem where it will freeze up occasionally, normally when trying to look a word up in the dictionary, sometimes simply when trying to turn a page. It requires a pin in the reset hole to fix it. It didn't do it for the first couple of years I had it, only the last couple. It's annoying but not enough to make me spend $219 to get the Kobo H2O just yet.
