Hello, Astabeth, and welcome to MobileRead.

You've come to the right place for advice and opinions.

Personally, I have the K1, (two, actually) and love it.......I don't care to upgrade, but many who have the K2 love theirs also.

Remember the K2 does not have a user replaceable battery, nor can you use an SD card.

Many have said this is not important, but it is to me.

Neither have a backlight, becuase the Kindles are "e-ink" technology. This means its as easy on your eyes as reading a paper book. Anywhere you can read a paper book, you can read the K. If you need a light, you'll need a light for the K. There are lots of tiny booklights that work great with them........I just usually use my bedside or chairside lamp.

Good luck with your search!
