I think anyone buying a first ereader right now should have the K3 (and any other Pearl-screen readers trhat come out in the next few months) as their no.1 choice. But for those looking to upgrade it's a very different proposition.

If the screen were markedly better than my PRS-505 I'd have got a K3 for my personal use, despite the hassle of having to convert to its clunky mobi format - screen quality trumps everything else. But so far the benefits in contrast compared to a good Vizplex screen seem a lot less convincing. Faster page turns, better highlighting and annotation are all very nice, but are the sort of thing I'll happily wait out for a couple of generations.
