Share your K3 photos

I've seen all of the "review" and official photos, but I'm interested to see your photos. If you've taken any of your new K3, could you do those of us who are waiting a favor, and share them here? Attachments are fine, or you can just link if you prefer. Something to make the wait a bit more bearable.. Thanks!

Nice photos, namebrandon.

I couldn't help but to notice your scale photo. My scale shows 8.2oz for Kindle 3 3G + WiFi. At first I though that it is off but yours also shows 8.1 which is less than official 8.7..



Anyone else seeing this?

It can be easily explained. Your screen has feather - hence 0.1oz difference. And Amazon dudes probably had picture of something little bit heavier when they weighted Kindle

I have the wifi only model and it weighs 7.8 ounces. So definately a bit less than they originally said.

Great photos. Did you notice any difference in terms of screen contrast at all? I saw the side by side picture of your Nook and K3 and it seems the only thing different about them is that the K3 background is whiter. What do you think?

Edit: Nevermind the question just saw your reply in another thread.

Thanks for sharing everyone! Just to clarify, those aren't my photos, I'm still waiting for my Kindle. Those are just collected from other posts, and I put the name of the original poster above each set of photos.

Keep 'em coming, I need these to get me through the long wait (I'm in the Sept 17 batch! )

I did some tests in my Kindle 3 Review and found that white is about the same among all eReaders, it's the black that makes all the difference.
