I hope my 950 never dies.
Hate to say it Pete, but you are probably correct. If your goal is to read, I haven't found the T2 equal to the 950. I'll extrapolate that the T3 isn't much better than the T2. Just putting the T2 next to the 950, it is clear the text is crisper on the T2, the web browser is better and there is less of a "flash" as the page refreshes. But for the goal of reading, there is more text, a more of a book like feel in the 950 and less swiping of the screans. PDF's can be read fine on the T2, but with the 6" screen, they appear small. They are better on the 950.

Oddly, I find the e-ink environment going backwards. I just ordered a Kindle DX just to see how it looks. I'll be willing to pay big bucks for the Sony 13.3 if it is released.
