Size comparason K3 vs. K1

carld · 08-02-2010, 08:28 PM

Just curious, and I'm sure someone's already checked this out. I know the K3 is smaller than the K2, but how does it compare to the K1 for all those of us thinking of making the K1 to K3 switch?

The height of the K3 is almost identical to the K1, but the K3 is much narrower. I forget how much, but you can sort of guess looking at the K1. I am switching to the K3 from my K1 too!

Kindle 1: 190 × 135 × 18 mm (7.5" x 5.3" x 0.7")
Kindle 3: 190 × 122 × 8.5 mm (7.5" x 4.8" x 0.34")

Much thinner, but the same height.

Thanks. I didn't realize the K3 would be so much thinner, that's kind of amazing.
