Since figuring out that the new Sony Reader Wi-Fi runs Android yesterday, I’ve had plenty of time to get familiarized with the PRS-T1’s new user interface and design.

My Kindle 4 arrived yesterday morning so I’ve been spending a lot of time giving it a test drive. I even put together a general video review showing how everything works (below).
