T1 As a ebook reader & News source
Hi,

I am looking at getting a 7" Tablet vs an e-ink reader, to keep up with my daily news, to store books/magazines that I'd want to read.

For those who own the Sony T1, how do you think this device rates for the above items?

What applications do you use to read the news/rss feeds on the T1?

Andy

Welcome to MobileRead, Andy.N. Have you tried Instapaper? It compiles webarticles that you like into an EPUB to be downloaded to your ereader. Also the Fetch News feature within calibre has a large selection of RSS feeds. I even wrote my own custom "recipes" for websites that I wanted compiled into news that weren't in the calibre default list.

Does Instapaper work like SendtoReader for the Kindle? In other words, can the PRS-T1 automatically fetch saved webpages via wifi from a server or linked email? Or do I have to transfer them via computer?

I have never used SendtoReader. Instapaper has a link that you can add to your web browser that saves the article for "Read Later" to be compiled into an ebook. I usually send the compilation to my Kindle email (so it shows up wirelessly). You can also go to your account page on Instapaper and download the file in EPUB format for the T1. You can download through the T1 web browser or save to disk. There are a few quirks though. See the attached post.
