I paid the bargain price of $359 for the K1 in 2008.
. It was initially 399.
I paid $189 for the keyboard in august 2010, but it was the 3G/wifi version, not the wifi only version. I got the wifi only with the Voyage.
Didn't the K2 cost $289? I skipped right over that one from K1 to K3 so I don't know anymore.
I wasn't really happy with my PW1 and I am very very happy with my Voyage.
For me as a voracious reader and someone that just wants the buttons to change pages, its worth it. The text clarity, the swiftness compared to my PW are also worth it.
Would I have loved to pay less? Sure. But it is what it is. I get a lot of work out of my kindles. My K1 still works by the way and so does my KK. I also have the last basic kindle with buttons. I just don't seem to like non lit kindles anymore for extended reading. I guess my eyes are going downhill.
I think its a matter what is important for one. I have never seen a PW2, but if the screen is better than the one on my PW1, I am sure its a nice device.
But I wanted page buttons again and now I have them again. So happy. This is what I wanted, a lighted kindle with page buttons and then some.
