Hi dordale...

I guess that's what makes the world interesting! I think Amasis is a pretty readable font but I've read about 2000 pages on each reader and I just "feel" less fatigued after reading the sony. I know I'm splitting hairs as the differences between ALL of the readers in terms of readability is slight I'd say.

I agree with you completely regarding the dictionary on the nook..too much trouble! It works great on the Sony. It's interesting that you say the K3 is only a slightly better screen. From all the raving about the pearl screens online I'm expecting a substantial difference..if it's not I'm going to be disappointed..

To be honest, I'm happy with any of the eink screens thus far. What I REALLY want is a useful web browser..which no one seems to have. If the K3 screen isn't miles better than the 900 screen I may just stick with the 900 instead of returning it and waiting for the 950.

Anyway, thanks for your response!
