Yup, and Yup again!

Yes, I would order a K2 for myself, but my K1 is doing well and my curiousity has been slaked--I ordered a K2 for my husband and just received it yesterday! I love my K1, but now that I've played with the K2, I'm liking the changes. I really like the smaller page turners--I do 'trigger' my K1 easily just shifting my hands and am constantly paging back. I like the new menu/slide-y mouse thing and find it easier to highlight and make notes on the K2--and love the dictionary kicking in so immediately, too. Actually, the K2 I find is quicker and more responsive and more intuitive. My husband is not a techie by ANY means, and he is using it easily without the usual complaints I hear whenever he gets a new computer, phone, mp3 player, etc., etc. He is LOVING his K2! Also, my husband loves the voice option--he's an artist and likes to hear books while he's working. Audio books are really expensive, so the voice thing on the K2 is very welcome. Re: the SD card, this is not a concern to me. I do have a lot of books, but store them on my computer in files and shift them to the K1 as needed. My husband will do that as well. I WOULD love a file/folders organizational ability on both Ks ... I wonder why that hasn't happened yet? I was a bit disapointed that the charging connection on the K2 was different than the K1. I had invested in a iGo for all my toys, and now need to buy yet another tip
Overall--am very happy with my K1 AND excited to have a K2 around! By the time my K1 is ready to retire (hopefully not for a long while) I will probably order the K3, or K4, or K5?
