Yeah, but. The "nominal" charge is, i think, $36. Plus, you have to ship the K2 back to Amazon, wait for them to replace the battery, then wait for it to be shipped back. I'll bet that is 2-3 weeks, and I certainly don't want to be without my Kindle for that long. It would drive me nuts.

Anyway, I have nothing agains the K2, but like almost all K1 ownes, we don't see anythig significant enough to make us sell the old one and buy a new. Same for the DX. Both are fine devices, and in all the discussions I've read of this subject, have detected no hate. Just polite disagreement similar to what happens when people compare their cars.

While I prefer the K1, I have talked two of my kids and several friends into getting the K2 and told them they will love it. And they do.
