5. bad software.
Anyways. I think I'll hunt for a 650 or 950 instead.

1. The buttons on the T series are poorly made. They start to show wear after a while of usage. The other problem is that the buttons on the T series are in a rather poor place for holding so that makes the page turn buttons mostly useless.
2. The back doesn't matter as you should be using any Reader in a case.
3. The T series is plastic. So why would it matter about Kobo being plastic?
4. Kobo doesn't come with a stylus, but you can buy a stylus.
5. The software is not bad. In fact, it's better than Sony's software. You get more options, more fonts, more font sizes and more.'
Another thing you get with Kobo is a better screen as Kobo uses a Carta screen.So you get better contrast. Also, you get a very nice front light for reading in low or no light situations. I do have the T1 light cover and a good front light is much better. The front light is better for reading in bed when someone next to you is sleeping. One more thing, because Kobo is using a newer version ADE, you get better typesetting.
So from my experience, there's nothing I can think of to recommend a Sony Reader.
If you buy a 650, plan to buy a battery and replace it yourself. The 650 is old enough that chances are the battery is either needing replacement or soon will be needing replacing.
Then there is the Kindle and B&N. Neither comes close to PRS+ in terms of options.
