I had the T91MT briefly and I can tell you the build quality is fantastic. I returned it due to, what I thought was, a problem with the touchscreen but it turned out that would've been resolved had I known about the Asus calibration utility.

Be prepared tho, both the Archos and T91MT will be shockingly heavy compared to a reader or MID. I mean they aren't heavy, but in comparison it's like holding a brick.
I don't see weight being a huge issue, since I'm used to holding a netbook for reading now.
Chris and I did some discussing and decided if we're going to share the device (which I have no problem with), that we might go for something more expensive. We looked at the Gigabyte 1028X and a few other things that aren't out quite yet but will be right around the time we actually have the money. He's not crazy about the T91MT's not user replaceable battery.

Maybe you know the answer to a question we've been debating, though - what are the advantages/disadvantages to multitouch?
