I only like the PW mainly for one reason: it lets me read under much wider variety of conditions. I'm no longer wedded to a good light source.

In pretty much all other ways, I prefer the k3. The pw is more compact and sexier but k3 is easier for me to hold. (I don't have normal hand so it's peculiar to me.) I like having the page turn buttons and home and back buttons. I like audio and TTS. The wifi toggle. The "ink" is darker, background is lighter than the pw unlit.

The new features that the pw has I don't really care about. I turned off cover view after 15 mins because I found it is easier to read the titles than to figure out what they are from the covers. Maybe cover view is good for the last 5 books opened but when scrolling through my largish library it's not so hot. Time remaining in chapter doesn't seem too accurate. For ex I open a chapter it says 1 min left. Ooh short chapter. Next page 1min left. Next 3 pages still 1 min left. How long is this freaking minute? I think it's messing with me. Just tell me how many more pages, ok?
