I have a K1, K3, and DXG. The K1 was retired when I got the DXG.

I use the DXG at home. I love the larger screen but I have always prefered a hardback to a paper back because I like more words on the page and I find it more comfortable to hold something a bit larger then smaller.

I use the K3 when I am out of the house because it is more portable. I prefer the buttons and the five way controller on the DXG to the buttons and D Pad on the K3.

The weird thing is that I still find myself reaching to the back of my DXG and K3 to turn on the whispersync. I guess a part of me misses my K1. I actually liked the thickness of the K1 and how it felt in the hand. I liked the look, the buttons, and the little roller ball. The D Pad and Joystick are easier to use but I miss my roller ball and the little silver bar.
