Have three, 2 x keyboard and a K4NT. Bought the K3 as an upgrade to my Astak pocket pro, then the wife wanted a K3. Last year there was a run out from Woolworths (here in Australia) of the Kindle NT, so bought that for $69.95 with the Amazon case.

I also have a Kobo Mini ($49 hell yeah!!). My thinking is the devices are not that expensive, and the money I saved by shopping between Amazon and Kobo (plus with the discounts) I am in the long run financially better off.

I like the stability of the Kindle and Amazon's CS, but I like some of the reading customisation of the Kobo (and the good work done by those who contribute to the Calibre plugin).
