I like to read sometimes lying down on my back. When I read on my iPad, the words go all the way down to the bottom of the screen which is practically to my chest, and looking at the last line or 2 of text puts strain on my eyes looking down so far. But with the K3, b/c of the buttons, the bottom of the screen is up a couple inches and I don't have to look all the way down to my chest which is easier on my eyes.
Yes this could be easily fixed by proping the device on a pillow, but still, I like the buttons for this reason.

It's such a minor thing, but I also like that the space taken by the buttons/keyboard raises the screen to eye-level. Granted, I actually use the keyboard to type notes, so I don't find the buttons as useless as some people do. But a little extra eye-ball ergonomics goes a long way in letting the buttons fade to the background when they're not in use.
