Sorry, I couldn't resist either.
Snark aside, the premise of this poll doesn't really apply to me. There really was never *one* reason for buying the K3 - it was the combination of the Amazon store, the tight integration between the store and the reader, and the screen, size, and ergonomics of the reader itself.
If a reader had the Amazon store but used a cumbersome side-loading process to buy new books, I probably wouldn't have bought that reader. I didn't buy a K2 because I didn't think that the screen was good enough yet, despite the Amazon integration. And despite the pearl screen and Amazon integration, I didn't buy DX because I find the form factor inconvenient for how I use my reader.
Note, too, that when I was in the market for an e-reader, I didn't approach it from the perspective that I: (A) wanted an e-reader; but (B) needed to choose which one. Instead, I thought that I *might* be interested in an e-reader, but that I wasn't sure that I was, and so I wanted to see whether the available offerings were such that it would be worth it to me to make that investment.
Rather than there being one thing that convinced me to get an e-reader, it's more like there were several things that did, but the absence of any one of them might have led me to not get an e-reader.
