Is Sony readying the PRS-T3? PRS-T2 on sale for $99 - Page 2

Maybe they will come out with a backlit reader. That's what I'm waiting for.

I've been thinking of getting the paper white kindle.

My next reader will be one with a lighted background. Last month our power went out for 21 hours and wished I had one of those kindles that night.

If we can turn that off completely I'm fine with that. More important to me would be a higher Eink screen resolution.

You can use the Sony Reader Cover with Light if you need some light once in a while. It illuminate the screen of your Sony Reader with a protective cover that integrates a light for reading in the dark. I use it while reading on the balkony in the evening, for example. The battery lasts 20 hours, you could have read the entire time while your power went off, laughingdragons.

I know. I have been (not so) patiently waiting for news on Sony's new e-reader. If it is not backlit I will probably get Kobo's Aura HD.

It depends on how bright they are now. I had one for my Sony 300 and it wasn't that bright. 'For complete darkness I don't think it would have been good enough.

That's why I'd like to get a paper white for nights like that or on an airplane (I travel at night most of the time)

I'll have to check that one out. I was just wanting a kindle for their book collection. They seem to have more books

From what people on the Kobo forum have talked about, it has a really good screen/light. I get my books from everywhere so I don't worry about the book store as much

Finns prefer tablets to e-ink readers so Sony reader is practically the only one you can get over the counter (with the odd exception of some Bookeen devices).

I bought my Paperwhite (the non 3G model) from Amazon.com for about 110 €. Kobo Glo was 170 € and Aura 210 € at Play.com (UK), all prices include taxes and shipping. I found out (too late) that you can get Kobo Aura a bit cheaper from Fnac France - for 180 €.

I just read that the T2 is 40 Euros now in some german stores!

I'm sure it's only days untill T3 will be announced.

The T2 has been my holy grail of e-readers all year long.
If the T3 is better than that, I can't wait to see what it is.

I now have a Samsung Tablet and a Nexus 4 phone (my very first cellphone EVER) and I have bought Moon Reader Pro and installed it on both of them happily so chances are I may skip buying whatever this release is, even if it is amazing.
