The KT2 is the basic model, the PW2 is the regular model, the Voyage is the premium model.
Some are SO (Special Offers) which is a $20 subsidy toggled via software -- it is still the same physical device.
There are older models as well, which aren't sold anymore but can still be found used.
Original Kindle, a/k/a Kindle 1
Kindle 2
Kinde DX (Occasionally more pop up for sale by Amazon)
Kindle Keyboard, a/k/a Kindle 3
Kindle Touch
Kindle Basic, a/k/a Kindle 4
Kindle Paperwhite 1

Thanks Boss. That makes it easy. But this leads to another question: Aren't the special offers just ads? So they charge you an extra $20 just to avoid the ads? And the pop-up on Amazon says the "special offers" don't interrupt reading, but aren't the ads visible on the bottom of the screen as you read?
I don't think ads on the screensaver would be so bad, but on the bottom of the page while I'm reading I wouldn't like.
Do other ereaders have ads too?
And what about Kindle PW with 3G? Is that almost like being online? With the regular old Kindle all you can do is go to Amazon.com?
