It's definitely lighter than my PEZ, but the button placement could be better I've had to adjust the way I hold it so I can read one handed, other than that and the lack of folder support I'm extremely happy with my purchase especially at £89  |
My first reader was a PRS-505 (deceased) with no keyboard or touch-screen, and I never needed those features, so I had no problem with the K4 lacking those. It's much lighter that the 505 (which was built like a tank, but that didn't stop its screen cracking). I also appreciate the faster page turns on the new Kindle.
I agree the page-turn buttons on the Kindle 4 are quite awkwardly placed - I'd prefer it if they were a little wider so it felt like I was pressing on something rather than wiggling the edge; or if the 5-way controller could jump pages too instead of whole sections.
