I use the K3 for anything I buy from Amazon, or that comes in mobi/prc format, and the jetBook for anything else (particularly ePub and rtf) because of the versatility of the jetBook software and the SD card.

Neither unit is worth a boot full of warm liquid for most PDFs[1], although the jetBook, even with the small screen is less bad due to the Adobe software. If I want to read PDFs, I use my laptop.

[1] Only exceptions, PDFs formatted for a small screen, or properly tagged for reflow. Neither is common.
