I got my original K1 the day after it launched. What convinced me at the time was a combination of the reader itself and the store. I had been wanting an e-ink reader ever since I saw the Sony PRS-500, but I just couldn't justify buying a device that only displayed pages. I wanted to at least have search and dictionary lookup, if not annotation. Amazon came along with a reader that had all three. Along with that, they had a huge selection of books compared to other stores and the prices were drastically lower.
Three years later, I'm still a very happy Amazon customer and they have a better screen in a case that I much prefer to the original or the K2. They have a bunch of improved software features, too. My K1 still works, but the battery life has diminished a bit and the right side button doesn't work so well any more. *glares at cat* It's about half the price I paid first time around, too.
