I have a K2 and a nook. Both devices are great. Personally as an eReader only device I like my K2 much more. It's much more pleasant to read on an eInk device.
For traveling the backlit device might prove to be a pain, in strong sun light the glaire is stronger, and the backlit screen is dimmer. To counter that you will have to increase the brightness whcih will kill your battery.
The K3 will have a nice browser, I've used my K2 3G in the states, Mexico, and in a cruise ship. It worked great. When traveling the battery life is going to be huge! The Kindle with 3G on will last you days of heavy usage, weeks if use seldom. The nook will last between 4hr-8hrs based on backlight and web surfing.
I rooted my nook and am running the Android OS on my nook. In this configuration I really like my nook a lot. It's a full tablet with all of the best reading software installed, Moon Reader(ePUB), PDF(RepligGo/ezPDF), Kindle. The nook has become my primary portable device over the K2 because it offers more flexibility. But I still miss reading on my Kindle.
I have a smartphone, laptop, desktop, and now a nook. I find that I use my nook more than any of those devices. 7" touch screen form factor is just so convinent. The device handles most of what I need to do, reading, writing, surfing.
