Laura I'd go with the K4 as I know the device you are upgrading from and I think you would like it more then the K3. I love my K3 but it has some weight on it when the PP feels like it weighs nothing so the K4 only feels a tiny bit more heavier then the PP. Even though they do weigh the same it's made of different casing. It's also tiny like the PP as the K3 is alot bigger and not so easy to put in your pocket.
However the K3 has bigger storage and longer battery life though I noticed on my K4 that I have WiFi on and unlike my K3 the battery has not change. I know on the K3 if I leave WiFi on my battery last with no reading 7 days and if I leave on and reading maybe 5 days but with it off it lasts 3 weeks with heavy reading. They say it's only the 3G model that has this problem which another reason I went with WiFi on the Touch if I ever get it.
The K3 does not currently support the personal cloud storage retrieval until firmware 3.3 rolls out. The K4 does so immediately. So you got that 5GB of extra space to store your books already available to you.
The K4 is easier to navigate because the 5-way is in the middle. I know the keyboard is not an issue because the PP keyboard is so hard to use the K4's will seem like a dream.
However there is no audio on the K4 at all it's only a basic reader so if use the MP3 player or TTS on the PP you may want to think about the K3.
