From the press release:

"Now with Wi-Fi, Reader gives you the additional freedom to buy, borrow or get eBooks for free wherever there's a wireless connection available.

From the latest releases to popular titles and classics, it's easy to browse and download titles in seconds from a huge range of compatible bookstores and other web sites. You will also be able to purchase and download eBooks and periodicals via Wi-Fi from the rapidly-expanding catalogue available at the Reader™ Store. What's more, Reader Wi-Fi is the worlds' first eReader that will allow you to borrow eBooks wirelessly from public libraries thanks to simple, seamless access on the device via an on-screen 'Public Library' icon. . .

. . .A simple browser also lets you download other compatible documents from the web via Wi-Fi for easy reading while you're on the move."

So you're not tied to the Sony Store even over Wi-Fi.

Better and better.

Too bad the black doesn't have the silver strip on it. I'd prefer the black as a color, but love the metal look on the white's strip.

That's awesome if it truly means we can download compatible files from sites like feedbooks, dropbox, etc.

The footnote specifies unencrypted epub and pdf files, but still, that opens up quite a few possibilities.

Believe me, if you can figure out how to get his spine to pull double-duty for the both of us, we'll both owe you a thank you.

I gotta get back surgery next year for my crappy spine; having his pitch in and help out would be IDEAL.

I hope the back issues go away after the surgery. I used to have a GF with a back issue and it wasn't good.

But for a bad back, a lighter reader would help.

It would fit if you got a proper purse. A proper purse means you care for your husband. A purse that's too small means you could care less.

PC Magazine did a hands-on article about the T1. Have a read.
Thanks for posting this link, Jon. It's worth reading just for the comparison chart between the different brands.

Your supposed to have a large purse to carry his stuff.

With the announcement of no more 7" reader, the 950 price on eBay is going to go up (IMHO).

Amazon has some new 950s for sale at $298.00, Jon.

Ah yes, curse that furshlugginer search engine...new ones are $383.99 then. Yep, that's quite a bit higher. You can get used and refurbs cheaper.
