Blossom, is the bezel matte and made of the same smooth material as the gray bezel on the previous model and also used on the touch? Is color the only difference? I'm hoping so. I prefer that material as compared to what they used to make the kindle keyboard which has more of a plastic feel.

My local Best Buy has this in stock, so I plan to take a trip there tomorrow and compare it to my K4S. If there is a vast difference, then I'll trade in my current K4 and order from Amazon. Amazon trade in is $23, Best Buy is $20 or less depending on condition.

Good plan. Best Buy will charge tax whereas Amazon might not depending on what state you live in.

EDIT: I found (part of) the information I read before: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_...tity_isolation Quote:
EDIT2: Okay, I admit I was "wrong" about the "in any state" part of the quote, so you "got me" on that "minor detail". [I edited that post to change "any" to "most" so it is "more better" now.] EDIT3: There is currently a bit of a "dance" going on in some states, where those states backed down on demands for sales tax when Amazon threatened to pull out of their state, potentially causing a politically risky loss of jobs in that state. Amazon claims that charging sales tax will hurt their revenue. Last edited by geekmaster; 09-14-2012 at 06:16 PM. |

Edit: The KPW will have multiple new fonts so perhaps there will be a way to add our own. Last edited by jswinden; 09-14-2012 at 06:27 PM. |

Thank you Blossom for the report. I tried 3 K4's and kept the last, even though I never got a screen to equal my Kindle keyboard. As much as I like the size of the K4, I find myself using the K3 more due to the better screen. I will buy the newest K4, but only when I hold up my current K4 next to the new model, at someplace like Staples. I won't spend again for the sub par screen. I hope all the new K4's have the improvement you reported.

Congratulations on the new toy. I've got to wait until Oct 11 for my NSO Paperwhite and until Oct 25 for my Kindle Fire HD 7 32 Gb.
All I got today was my Kindle Fast Charger good for all eInk devices and Fires. |
