so it's mean that K3 it had some difficult with journal or text book?
does amazon let user to convert their pdf (journal pdf), since the journal a copy right material, I afraid, amazon didn't let their user to convert it on kindle format.

And if you want to go back and review an earlier passage, the process is painful and slow - since you need to wait for the e-ink to update. My understanding is that the speed has improved a bit, but I would bet the process is still tedious.
Comics also don't display vey well. The bit depth of the display isn't high enough to allow for it.
You might want to consider waiting, or looking at an android device, but there you will be getting a battery hog.

thanks bob for your reply, I already read cnet review, they said, old sony had different technology with the new one.
the old one used another layer for pressure sensitive area, in my mind it's look like garmin device, it's also had this kind of screen.
in the new prs 650 or 950 they used infra red, that's why the contras much better.
I only read the review, not experience my self that's why I come to this site, so I could ask people like you, whose using it, and give me advise.
about two column zoom fix, does it help much for reading journal Bob?
AFAIK on a few review on youtube, sony does had a history page which can used to fast page back ward.
my problem with android device they used tft screen, not e ink screen, if i had no problem with tft screen might be I will also add nook color in mind, but since I looking for e ink device, I stumble with this two device.
thanks for your answer
