Collection management is a nice feature (and I use it right now), but it's not essential for me. To be able to set weighting on the fonts, you'll have to hack/patch the firmware.

The KA1 has two problems, IMHO:
- Unstable firmware, with different problems for each release
- Build quality. There are gaps in the casing which annoy me to no end because heaps of dust get in there. I've actually taken to clean it out using a brush every day or two.

I'm still undecided. I got my KPW1 back from my mom after she read some books. Maybe I'll set a different font ramp size, and then read my next book on the old reader. (The font ramp change is necessary because size 4 is often too small, while size 5 is huge.)
