Sony always made good looking e-readers but IMO were late adopting the ability to buy and receive ebooks directly without going through a computer. Also never updated the firmware for the Nook store apparently on some of their earlier readers such as the PRS-950 as near as I can tell. The T1 and T2 still styled nicely but with plastic bodies and a cover that followed the design of the Kindle snap-in cases as introduced with the K4 and KT Kindle e-readers. Sony never adopted a lighted screen for their readers either, sticking with the cases with a integral light. Most users apparently preferred the integrated light design adopted by the competition.
