Well, folks, thanks to a nice deal on B&H I have upgraded from my Nook Wi-Fi (now dubbed the Nook 1st Gen or Classic by B&N) to the new, shiny Sony PRS-T1 which is not only Wi-Fi enabled as well, but has a better operating system and less fussiness than my dear old Nook. This isn’t to say that my Nook is glitchy or a bad eReader – it’s just to say that a couple of fussy issues with the Nook (like how B&N eBooks get automatically taken OFF my Nook & I have to turn on Wi-Fi to re-download them when I want to read them) made me realize that I like the line of Sony Readers more and more…

So when I had the chance to grab the PRS-T1 … I got one! Previously, my main issue with the Sony was that unless you were willing to pay extra to go beyond the basic devices (by extra I mean $100+) then you had no Wi-Fi and/or no music. The T1 has both. Issues resolved. I am in! File support and storage expansion are right on track with its cousins the Nook and Kindle (not the tablet devices, obviously, but who wants one?) and I’m about to rip this sucker out of the packaging and get it running. I’ve played with it at the nearest electronics store so I know I’m cool with how it operates…now for charging and filling with books! Woo-hoo!
