PRS+ is great in that it expands the feature set and the fact that Sony has allowed room for tweaking is also a plus. It definitely extends the life of the entire Sony line. Quote:

Sony also has unlimited cloud storage for items bought from the Sony store. I can download to my 950 any purchased book at any time via wireless. Quote:
I won't be buying a Kindle any time soon but I agree with you converting my ePubs to Mobi is trivial. |

So the 950, the desktop app, the android app, and the T-1 will sync that information. It doesn't include hand-annotations (Sony doesn't support text notes, oddly), but I think that's more of a limitation due to the fact that every device has a different display shape/size out of the set that can sync. |

I just wasn't able to find it on my 950. It's pretty buried compared to the Nook. I see where it is now. Not sure if the text notes sync or not (they should).

No everything, only download files. The Kindle has a browser and can download files. However, this new feature from Amazon allows you to synchronize and backup your library (last page read, annotations) simply pressing "Syncr and check for content" on the Menu. It's easier (extremely easier) than using a browser to download files, and with a browser you can't synchronize your library (last page read and annotation), only download files.

While the Sony won't synchronize the books themselves, it will synchronize your page, bookmarks/etc. Including downloaded ones.

Sony really does make beautiful Readers. I've had a few "wow, it is so sleek" remarks about my 505 and 350. Quote:
There are several features that have me choosing the T1 over the Kindle: the fact that there are quite a few books that I cannot get in .mobi that I can get in .epub (mostly Canadian lit and foreign language novels); also, I already have quite the .epub library and don't see a need to convert it. I only have a handful of Kindle books, and I can (and do) read them on my iPad. I make extensive use of the 12 dictionaries on my 350 and am happy to see that they will be included on the T1. I like the fact that I will be able to expand the memory with a card. Sony has had getter PDF functionality in the past, and I expect that it will remain the same with this new generation as well. I use PDF reflow quite often, and I like to be able to carry my journal articles with me when I am on the go, even though I do use tablets to read PDFs as well. While I am sad to see the metal bezel go this generation, I do believe that Sony had to cut costs where it could just to stay in the game. I will miss the ability to read .lrf files; I won't be getting rid of my 350, however, so I will be reading .lrf files on that device. |
