I agree with HarryT that the system for typing numbers and symbols is rather difficult, but as far as the keyboard itself, I like it a lot. I find the D-pad to be surprisingly useful and easy as well.
My first Kindle reader (Sony PRS-505 was the first reader for me) was the K3 also. But I gave that to my hubby, who was a non-reader, and has now converted thanks to me

I miss the manual turn buttons. I also have the big Kindle 9.7" DX and I didn't like the weight, but the buttons were noisy, and I wanted a Paperwhite. I do love the PW, but I can't get to love the page turns. It seems to be hit and miss for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

I think they are going to do away with manual buttons, and that bothers me so much that I think I have to get the $69 model before the discontinue that, but I wanted it lighted like the PW.
