In NY, she probably doesn't. At least, not in the boroughs. The City and the outlying bedroom communities, sure. But the boroughs? Nah.

Me, I don't know anyone who owns a K2. If it's truly half the readership of any mailing list, surely the e-book format is doomed, doomed, doomed. Amazon has sold only half as many K3s, PWs, Fires etc etc etc as it did the K2? Say it ain't so!

Why would you say it's doomed? Because they read on older devices? Don't see how that works. Amazon will of course phase out the KF7 over time, but not until they figure out how to make AZK=KF8 (really, not "faux" equal) and KCR as well. Frankly, having to figure out what to do for KF7 as well as KF8 keeps us on our toes. And let's not forget--the LITB is KF7, too, for all intents and purposes.

(My wife uses the old K3 Keyboard, which indeed is still giving good service. I much prefer the Fire HD. It's so much faster, especially looking at images, and anyhow I can check my email from time to time.)

QED, no? She has a device, she likes it, and sees no need to replace it. I would have done the same thing with my K2, had I not had a professional need to buy other devices. (Well...to be honest, that and battery life, I'd say.)
