I agree Karen...because we have two separate households we just bought two K2 Global version readers, one for a bit over $180 with WA sales tax and mine was $162.99 with overnight shipping. We already each have annual Audible subscriptions anyway. So, it can be looked at two ways...we got a $159 K2 with all of it's bells and whistles or we paid full price for the K2's then got 12 audiobooks from Audible for ~$80 or just $6.67/book which is cheaper than many ebooks...so we saved $200 on items we were going to buy anyway. Now if I find I don't like the K2 any better than the K1 I can sell it quickly at a nice profit in a day or two of listing it.

of course one of us HAD to buy a $100 cover for HER K2...me? I am happy with a simple padded pouch with a hard plastic insert to protect the display (I added that part) from Tom Bihn for $10...go figure...wimmin folk just like the fancy stuff...yeesh!!

Actually it is a really sweet cover, but $100!!! ZOIKES!! Then again I never bought a designer purse and get my underwear from eBay. So, what do IIIIII know!!

This is the cover, like I said it is really a nice cover though I won't see it for a month or so...

Still, just I know I have seen the same cover in Tijuana for $3.00...
