However, if the battery life is halved... :<

I love laying on my bed for hours reading and not having to worry about charging it every night. It may be quite annoying to get into that habit. I may go for it though. I really don't like the Special Offers (it was a gift), and I've heard you can pay an extra $30 to turn them off on the K4.
Do you need to charge your k3 every 2 days to keep reading? If not, then you don't need to worry about charging the K4 every night.

i wouldn't worry about the battery life on the K4, nor the halved memory. 2 months battery life vs 1 month, 1400 books vs 3000 books... once those specs get past certain bench mark, they matter more on paper than in real life usage.
