T1 is a thing of beauty, and almost scarily light- makes my kindle 3 look like a right lump. Will check out issues of freezing, but I'm tempted to get one, it would be good to have great library integration. But I need to check I can make my kindle purchases readable on the T1 though, I'm not buying books twice.

Well, I bit the bullet and bought it today. Decided on the red (actually a sort of dark magenta) - it was a close-run thing between this and the black, but I reckoned it would be easier to spot if red!

Thanks again to everyone for their help - just need to decide on a cover now!

Getting the Navi-tech one delivered shortly £9.19 - I'll let you know what its like. I'm tempted by a Tuff-luv hemp one but I'll wait for them to publish some pictures....

You can, if you're willing to work a bit. Google Apprentice Alf for the tools that you need. It all seems a bit daunting at first, but once you have it set up, it's almost transparent.

There's no "almost" about it; it's completely transparent.

dear friends
i have some questions if you kindly take time to answer:

1. since i have to read many articles from jstor i need to know whether it is possible to read footnotes in sony e-reader (T1) or not?
2. i need to know whether you can copy texts from a pdf/epub file and paste it somewhere (i would like to save myself from writing note cards for my research) or I have to type the text in another application (e.g. word)?
3. how compatible is the e-reader with pdf files regarding navigation, font size, page orientation, and readingin landscape mode?

i really appreciate your kindness for reading my questions and sharing the info. if there is any better option available i'd be more than happy to know about it.
thanks in advance
