I love showing people my Kindle. I could go on and on about how much I love it. BUT, ever since the K2 has come out now I have to use the caveat, "This is the original Kindle, they have a new one out now that's..." then I tell about the K2. I love love love my K1, and haven't considered upgrading until this one dies, but I have realized I hate showing off an older model! Every time I mention, "But there's a new one that's thinner," etc. I wish I had a new one to show them.

Wouldn't that be a reason to dislike the Kindle 2 ?

I too demo my k1 a lot and now use the "but there's a newer version" caveat.  It is a negative for k1 but I also see where it could also apply to k2.

I know just what you mean. I was flying home a week ago and had a long wait at the airport. I decided to eat lunch and while eating I was reading my KK. I had 2 people stop and ask me about it and I had to say the exact thing you did. I love my KK too, but it makes you feel out of date.

I am looking for another K1, at a decent price, and it almost appears that the K2 is cheaper than a K1, go figure    Some of the prices at Amazon are $1k or even $900+  I don't think so

K1's might end up being a collector's item...I'm still thinking about getting another K1 as a backup. Check out craigslist. My area has some pretty good prices on them...but I'm waiting for a really desperate person to sell one to me really cheap.

There is someone here at my company that is selling one for $250. She states:

"I am selling the Amazon Kindle has more then a half year warranty left on it. I am selling it for $250, currently sells for $359. In like new condition. Comes with wall charger, Original box & warranty information, Neoprene protective case, Skin to protect from Scratches (can be easily removed), 2GB Memory Card."

Well, look at it this way; when we all replace our Kindle 2s with Kindle 3 models in (eighteen months ) then the Kindle 2 will be "old".  

I'm keeping my Kindle 1 at work for light reading on break, lunch at my desk, etc.  and using Whispersync for those occasions when I share reading material on the two Kindles.

When I ordered my K2, I put my K1 on Craigs list and it sold pretty quickly...almost too quick! I had to put in my description that I was not going to release my K1 until my K2 had a least shipped!

Just wait for the economy to go down the drain a little further and you might be able to get it.

I am still happy with my now endangered, soon-to-be-extinct, outdated, Kindle-1.

It does everything it was designed to do - amazing!

Exactly what I was thinking

 

[farmwife99]

I like to tell people my Kindle 1 is the "Kindle Klassic" and is no longer available. If they want to buy a new Kindle for themselves they will have to settle for the Kindle 2.

It's all how you spin it.

I've decided to keep my K1 until K3 comes out........because my K1 was a birthday gift from my hubby, so it has sentimental value.....will probably keep the K1 forever but get the K3 when it comes out.

You just tell them you ARE an OG!

That's a better way of doing it.

I get it...like coke classic

 

[Tippy]

I decided to wait to upgrade my Kindle Klassic.  After all my KK is only 5 months old. . .  Plus I have spent all this money on accessories. . .  Difficult to justify K2.  Last night I broke the news to DH that there is a K2.  He looked at me rather sharply and in an edgy voice said, "I suppose you are going to have to buy one.".  It was rather nice to airly reply that I am keeping my KK.  He didn't appear to believe me. 

 

[skanter]

I tell people that I paid $125 for K1, but you'll have to pay close to $400 for a K2 with cover. Which sounds more desirable?
