J, That was my conclusion also.

Moreover, while realizing the reader would be lighter weight, I am not enamored with the plastic casing. I really like the metal casing of my 950 (and 505).

I might consider getting the T1 to replace my wife's 505 even though (knock on wood) it is still serving her very well.
I think she would love the T1. You could sell the 505 to help pay for the T1. I think asking $100 for the 505 would get it sold.

J, I probably would just keep it as a backup. I gave another 505 to my daughter.

If I sell it, is there any reason not to sell it with all of the ebooks that are loaded on it?

Are they all public domain or were some of those copyrighted.

If the books are not public domain or creative commons, then it's not a good idea to sell with the books on it.

Geez, if they are still holding value, I should be recouping the value in mine. I haven't used it since getting the 650.

Hmm, is the T1 dumping the hard metal shell that the previous readers have had? I noticed that the weight was going down. Also, I'm right in thinking the screen technology isn't changing from 650 to T1?

I like my Prs350 just because even with a cover it fits in my shirt pocket and is easy to carry. I doubt the T1 would.

In that case I feel it's a big step forward for Sony, and consumers in general but not the right device for me. The hard shell is a huge deal for me.

Something nobody seems to do these days is bring out a premium version... perhaps next years refresh will include a T2+ or similar, with a metal shell and a few other things for a premium.

Does anyone know if the non-light Sony cover for the 505 will fit the T1?

Thanks!

You were answered in the other thread that you asked. None of the previous Sony covers will fit the new T1.

I might get one just for a backup at this price. I just don't understand why the screen isn't bigger when there is plenty of room to make it bigger. What's with all the wasted space on the top and bottom?

I guess the large bottom area is for placing the battery which is too thick for placing it directly under the screen.
