During the live event I didn't hear Amazon mention this was only for the first year, if it's true this is very misleading of Amazon, and very characteristic of them. |

Yes it does.
Anyway... some of the new offerings are very nice but nothing to make me want to spend money. Maybe the next generation.... Last edited by ApK; 09-06-2012 at 05:03 PM. |

It annoys me to bits though, that bezos strategy : "since no one else (no nook, no kobo glo) is on the european market with a front-lit e-ink, we don't need to go either". That really is BS on a grand scale.... |

I'm having a hard time with Amazon's new marketing term paperwhite I keep on reading paperweight even when I hear it I automatically hear paperweight and think the person had a lisp.
Even my keyboard keeps on getting to correct the term with paperweight. |

I came so close to hitting the buy button on the PW and case, but backed off. I think I'm going to wait for the reviews this time. I have a KF, K3g, and K4NT right now to keep me company.
Besides, the new iPhone announcement is coming in 6 days. |

So I really need two eInks and the KF will be used as a tablet finally not a eReader. I need to sell but I doubt anyone would buy my K3 or K4 though. |

It's quite easy, you just keep buying them
Glad I still have my K3 as my cat put a faint scratch in the screen of my Touch last night and I'm not sure yet if it'll be noticeable while reading. My K2 and Opus get used as loaners when someone wants to borrow a book. |
