3. Faster -- not important for page turning, but for dictionary use etc.
4. 16 shades of grey -- nice for images!
5. The ability to search within 1 book for a keyword rather than the entire library. That is another feature never pushed to the K1.
6. Longer battery life when connected to the internet (either wireless or 3G).
I probably will trade my K1 into GreenEarthExchange after a few weeks of playing with the K3, just to recoup some of the money I spent, but not sure yet.

I'm also a K1 owner, and my main reasons are your 1 and 5. Also, after 2.5 years, my battery will soon need replacing (yeah, I know, I could just buy another battery :-)). Since I keep my toys for awhile, and companies stop pushing upgrades to them, I feel its a better deal to get the k3 than an older/cheaper k2. Hopefully I'm purchasing longer upgrade support by doing this.
