For me there really isn't an ideal, and I'd probably always need 2.

For novels, I'm fine with my K1 and would be a bit better with K2. Really just need instant page turns and menus, dictionary look up etc. My only real gripe is speed. Doing anything other than turning pages takes too long on current e-ink devices.

But what I really want for another type of reader is a larger screen (say 8.5 x 11 to be great for academic PDFS) that you can write on with a stylus just as easily as you can paper (no lag, easy to write neatly etc.) to mark up PDFs etc. I'm fine with LCD or OLED type screens as I want full color as ideally the device would be able to do full internet browsing, watch videos, be a planner etc. etc. as I wouldn't buy such a reader soley for my academic PDFs as I'm perfectly fine with just printing them out, marking them up and sticking them in a filing cabinet.

So I guess what I really want in that regard is a well designed tablet device, rather than a reader.
