I've got a Sony 350 in a lighted case, a K4 in a slipcover case, and my beloved K3. I'm seriously thinking about a Paperwhite (I've seen one, and can live with the shadows along the bottom of the screen). The one I saw didn't have the color blooms, and compared to it, my K3 just looked... dirty. I've got a small freelance gig that will pay me enough (probably just barely) to get the PW+3G-SO and the nifty Amazon case that turns it on when you open the case.

I have a friend who would like to buy my Sony350, but I'm not sure I want to sell it. I *think* I'd like to keep one native epub reader, although I can't think why, because I use Calibre and The Tools, so conversion isn't an issue.

My husband and son both have k4s. I got the extra K4 because I got it at a good deal and my daughter might want one someday - although I don't know for sure, because she's an artist and is into books as art forms as much as she is into reading them. Still, some day she may decide she wants to try it.

I think I may want to keep the K3, because I can use Calibre to set up collections in it, and there doesn't seem to be a way to automate collections on the PW, nor are there plans for somebody to figure out how to do that - and I adore the Kindle Collections plugin for my k3.

But I can't really justify having the 350, a k4, AND a k3 as extra ereaders. But I really don't know which one I should sell.
