I very nearly bought a K3, but it sounds like they're having lots of quality control issues: poorly assembled cases, things rattling around inside, units that die after only a week, frequent crashes, etc... No this wasn't the majority of units, but it was a sizable number of them (at least one guy was on his third replacement unit, and it too was failing).
Maybe my impression is inaccurate, but I'm not accustomed to reading about so many failures in a new product. I wonder if many of the others' are similarly soon to fail. It made me too nervous to buy one, since upgrading my 505 is a questionable exercise in the first place, since there's nothing wrong with it.
Sony's, as we know, are built rock-solidly, and are reliable and don't crash.
I just don't want to risk buying a lemon of a book reader, so I'm sticking with Sony (the 350 or 650).
