PRS T2 VS Kobo Glo (replacing PRS 650)

[vbkun]

Hi! I decided to make a post here since i'm going all nuts in doubt picking one of the above. Not that I haven't the posts around, I have, I’ve been reading everything I can on both models and i just get more and more confused .

For me positive points about kobo:

- Higher res.
- Light.
- Better design;

About the Sony:

- Better Dictionary;
- PDF reflow;
- Runs on top of android;

Points to consider:

-I don't know better the experience can be with the higher res. screen, specially considering i already read sometimes on my prs 650 on the smallest font settings and it was ok.

- I was never much a dictionary worm, but the oxford American dictionary on prs changed that in me, I don't feel so confortable since the kobo's dic apparently have a lot less information (although i could just take quick looks over it on video reviews). Can anyone comment on this?

- Fact that prs t2 can be rooted is a big plus, since it could run lots of stores app. (I'm sure right now it must not be the stable-est thing to do, but with time i guess it will become more stable? Should I hope for this?). I consider I have some experience rooting/swapping roms/kernels of android, since already did it in a xoom, kindle fire and 2 phones);

Any general opnion to shed some light in my indecision?

Forgot a important point:

How's Japanese suport on european kobo glo/t2? Do any get any dictionaries or are able to display jpn text vertical?

Kobo's Japanese support is very good: same as on a Japanese model, including Japanese and Japanese-English-Japanese dictionaries. All models internationally run the same firmware.

However the English Merriam-Webster dictionary on the Kobos is really underwhelming. Hopefully they introduce a Kindle-like option to at least buy better ones.

The T2 is more responsive with quicker page turns.
