And my poll doesn't stink.
Aside from the frog language (which I do not parley) the option you proffer would be a falsehood in my case.

Why not? You have a K1, right? You are keeping it and getting a K2, right? What's the problem?

What the hell are you guys talking about. K1, K2, who cares. Pshrynk´s a frog, although he shouldn´t be. Maybe he would like to be like Marc, in a way....

No. I have a K1, and a Sony 505, and an eb1150.
Let's review the options in the poll

Is this your first DEDICATED e-book reader device? -- No

Did you sell your K1 and upgrade to K2? -- No

Did you keep your K1 and add K2? -- No

Do you own any other brand, and 'cross over'? -- No (there is no "cross over", just expansion)

I have a K1 and have no intention of buying the K2....its fine as is. -- No, the K2 looks like an improvement on the K1, but I cannot afford the frivolous expense at this time

I have a K1 and am waiting for reviews. -- No, I am certain the reviews will be good, but (see above)

So you see... no option for me in your smelly poll.

Jesus, Pshrynk!!!!! You´re too fast for me!!!! I was not quite done! My next try would have been an avatar that shows intelligence AND the ability to know and remember things. Anyway, I´m relieved you´re not a frog anymore.

Hrm, I fall into a couple of those categories. The Kindle 1 was my first e-book reader, the iRex is my second, and I have no intention of buying the Kindle 2. If my wife wants an e-book reader, I think she'll much more likely be interested in a Sony (but that's just a guess).

Yes, it looks like an improvement on the K1, and under more stable economic conditions I would have one at my mailbox by week's end.
So, while the K1 is enjoyable, and usable... I would not wish to imply it is "fine as it it". That would imply the K2 is not an improvement.

But, do also understand that I am just yanking your chain.
