How do K4 owners feel about this. Is it something you have learned to live with or do you not even notice it after a few days? I was ready to grab a new Kindle but now I'm wondering if I should hang on to my K3 graphite until a graphite version of the K4 comes out (if ever).

Just wondering - is that dark black line distracting for you?

There is no black line on the K4NT, are you talking about the bevel surrounding the screen?
It sounds like you're observing it based product pictures. If so try it out in person again, amazon's product photo is shot at an angle and the lighting makes the bevel appeared to be darker than it actually is. In real use it's not as black, nor is it distracting at all.
