Compared to its predecessor, the Sony PRS-T1 I can see improvements. The turning now works almost always very good and very fast, the T1 has also suspended from time to time, has not yet happened to me at T2. Some may complain that the reader has no audio function more, but it happens to be an e-reader and not a tablet or mobile phone. The new Kindle Paperwhite has incidentally also no audio output more. For the T2 but is now lighter than its predecessor. I find the look a bit hübischer than the Vorgängermodells.Ist but a matter of taste. I think it is also good that you can now easily load of Libri (or eBook.de) books on the device. The eLibrary my public library works fine through the browser. Deduction of points there for the still nonexistent Sony Store in Germany. But maybe that is still sometime thing. Otherwise, I can issue a strong buy recommendation for the Sony PRS-T2.

Because now is available finally the Sony Reader Store in Germany, there are now five stars for the PRS-T2 :)
