DO you really expect them to do that?

Yes. Funny how pinch and zoon is the must have feature.
Though,to have it on the orizon, it's nice to change font size with just one gesture.

he does mention pinch to zoom but he doesnt actaully show it. he does a pinch sort of movement when the screen is turned away and then a few seconds later shows the text enlarged

It's most likley to be "slow" fist because of the e-ink, second because of time needed to re-calculate the epub pagination.

*sigh* They ditched the 7 inch model. I hope the Kindle DX is SIGNIFICANTLY refreshed. That's my only option for a larger screen. Too many 6 inch devices. Would be nice to have an eReader collection of various screen sizes. No real distinction with these things.

I think it was mentioned, but formatting quality varies massively between ebooks. It actually boggles my mind: publishers have been making books for years, they all look fairly similar... and yet eBooks -- more often than not -- look like garbage! Just make it look like a paper book... ARGHhhhhh..... Ah oops... </rant>

I either generate an LRF when it's feasible (not with Calibre because its LRF sucks IMHO), or I spend the time reformatting ePUBs with my own page template: I justify, add margins and headers (book/chapter). Basically, I make the ePUB look like a standard book!

My thoughts exactly. Though page refresh looked pretty spritely when he flipped pages!

I hope there is still a zoom capability in -- what I assume is -- the options menu (right-most hard button).

I honestly hate touching my Reader with my fingers -- fingerprints, ugh -- so I fall decidedly outside the target market for multi touch.

I'm feeling your pain. I love the Sonys for the 5" and 7" models. For them to move to 6" only is terrible for me, because 6" is the size that I don't use at all. *sob*

I reckon I'll have to buy a 350 now and just live without the SD card. But that makes me so sad. Does anyone have a 350 to sell me? *heads over to ebay*

This article says T1 is Android based.

http://thisismynext.com/2011/08/31/s...ary-borrowing/

As for ditching the 7-in, I have the 7 in Daily Edition. I'll be able to live with a 6-in.
Since the T1 can pinch-zoom, it'll fill in for quick pdf viewing. The advantage of 7-in over 6-in is for pdf, but I find myself reading less and less pdf (from 70% of the time to 10%) on the Reader. PDF just doesn't translate well on a 7-in screen for the long haul. Even reading it in landscape mode is not natural. I read PDF almost exclusively on an iPad now.

I'm not really thrilled with pinch-to-zoom. If it's continuous zoom, it will be hard to fine tune the zoom on unresponsive eInk, right? And if it's discrete zoom, you're just bypassing the zoom button, which wasn't hard to use before, I don't think.

I'm actually a little sad -- the 950 is my favorite reader and I kind of hate to think that when it's gone/broken, I won't be able to replace it with the new Sony 7". Since, you know, there won't be one.

I've never been totally satisfied reading on 6 inches after reading on my 900. Was used only for ePubs. Every time I pick up my eReader I'm always "aware" of reading on the smaller screen. I paid $400 for the 900 and certainly would've paid $300 for the 950 if it wasn't tied to the Sony bookstore. I know you can sideload, but wasn't interested in paying for features I would never use. I never bought a book from Sony when I had my 900.

Concerning glossy frame:

In this

video the very glossy surface of the red model is clearly visible...

Searching in Google and Wikipedia seems to be good implemented in the UI.
