After much thought, I came to the conclusion that what I really want is the Kindle 3 (I'm guessing.....), but I didn't want to wait til the end of the year. So, based on a lot of research on this board, I decided that the best approach for me would be to pick up a used K1 off eBay at a price much lower than a new K2. My K1's previous owner had upgraded to a K2, hence the sale of the K1. It arrived in perfect condition, and I have already downloaded one book and subscribed to the Financial Times. My plan is to use the K1 to test drive, and then upgrade to K3 when it arrives (assuming it is all that I hope it is).
With only 30 minutes of lunchtime reading under my belt, I have to admit that this device is much better than I thought it would be, though I can certainly now appreciate all of the feedback about the wacky PREV and NEXT Page buttons along the left side. I think I have already adapted to holding the device without hitting the buttons, but there was a learning curve required to avoid flipping pages inadvertently.
