I've had a K3 since they came out in the summer of 2010, although my first one was stolen in December of that year, so I bought another one.

At the beginning of last week I lost my K3. I hunted high and low but couldn't find it. So I decided to buy a new kindle and thought, "Why not try the Touch?". So I got one and also a Marware Eco-Flip pink cover. I then spent a while transferring my library to the Touch. Some days later I finally found my k3 hiding in an unlikely place. So now I have my beloved K3 and the new Touch. How do I feel about them? Well I would say that from the POV of convenience I greatly prefer to K3. With the Touch I am constantly touching it the wrong way and having to undo the effect. The only problem of this sort with the K3 is inadvertently hitting a page-turn button.

But I do like the lightness of the Touch and I love the Eco-Flip cover, which is much more convenient than my lighted Amazon cover on the K3.
