I've been using the Keyboard quite a bit. Being bigger seems to make it more comfortable for me to hold. I'm glad I picked up one of these (actually two, since I was able to fix one of the Shop Goodwill Kindle Keyboards I had already bought, but originally didn't work).

What's funny is the Goodwill K3 (imaginatively named "Keyboard2") says it is subscribed to ads (and that it will cost me $20 to turn them off) but actually it doesn't display ads. The Woot K3 ("Keyboard") came ad-free, but I've turned the ads on because I like them better than most of the K3 screens. But I don't see any way to turn ads on, on Keyboard2, which is kind of a weird "problem."

EDIT: And now the ads have started on Keyboard2 – so I guess it just took a few days for it to "catch up."
