"Since Sony is going in the direction that they are moving (non-front light) then those of us who desire that light are moving in another direction." So your statement is not correct. |

I bolded the part that falls under "we" for you. Also, I am done, this conversation is derailed. |

And i think we don't need any light on the reader. There still enough people who see there other things more important then light, stable Firmware, Calibre supporting, etc. We like it the way it is. And we will buy an Sony Reader PRS T3.

You don't know what are the priorities of every single ereader user, so you can have people who still want front lighting but opt for Sony because front lighting is not perfect enough to not decrease the quality of what they see in the electronic page. So you still are not correct.

I like what I see in the T3 and look forward to more in-depth reviews. Personally I don't care if it has no front light (apart from the lighted cover option). I also like the idea of a built in cover (hope there is an option to purchase with lighted cover directly instead of having to end up with a cover that won't be used).
Too bad it (apparently) is not the Carta screen, but it will be interesting how it looks in side-by-side comparisons with Paperwhite and Aura (and presumably a new Nook), in 'normal' indoor light. I expect T3 will compare favorably. That does not mean everybody will prefer it (given the many other factors), but it should do as well as ever. |

That's the point not everybody got. Everyone has his own preference, and not to all has an intern light as number one on their list. What reader you prefer is a really personal thing. Read and lets read.

The light thing looks so slick and stylish. I really like it. I am also really pleased by the little things that reveal lots of good intellectual input put into the project. That small detail of opening the case and immediately the book opens in the last read page makes it look and feel even more like a classical paper book, that i consider an almost perfect product in terms of form and function. It was very well thought not to force the user to press a button to start reading. Less "device-y" and more "book".
The quick charge is technically very interesting and very useful. With such a long battery life i assume this feature will not be used very frequently but still is good to know you could extend significantly your reading time with just a quick charge. In my opinion, great design details. It is hard to improve an almost perfect product as a paper book is, and Sony really tried to make not a completely new class of object, or a "reading machine" but instead something that uses new technology to create a modernized form of a "book". I like the approach. Last edited by Salgueiros; 09-06-2013 at 04:17 AM. |
