I agree with you on the thickness of K1. I find it more comfortable to hold (while in the cover) than K2. I like the thickness.

K2 is more comfortable to hold while it's naked, something I could never do with K1. I haven't received my K2 cover yet so I don't know how I'll prefer to read it (cover or not).

I'm about to do a test. I think K1 is going to be better to use on treadmills, ellipticals and just about any kind of cardio equipment because the page turn buttons are easier to work. But, if I turn on the TTS with the volume all the way down and the slowest read (at the right font size), I would have auto page turning that might work well.
