1. Amazon does not allow me to buy one.

2. Even if Amazon DID let me to buy it, there are *very* few features [that are relevant to me] that K2 has and PRS500 does not. No folder support. No indication where in the book you are while you are looking at the list of books.

3. Amazon does not allow me to buy one.

4. K2 is missing some features, like SD card I consider essential.

5. Amazon does not allow me to buy one.

6. I can not justify spending cca. $400 for a reader when I still have an e-ink reader that is working very well.

7. Did I mention that Amazon does not allow me to buy one? ;-)

When my current reader breaks I will buy whatever is available in my country with the minimum amount of hassle. That is, without the use of Credit card (I still do not have one and do not plan to get one because of one device I want to buy) and without organizing complicated logistical operation (asking somebody to bring the device from USA or other country).
