I mainly got the K2 because there were a bunch of books I wanted that I could only get through Amazon and I figured the saving of the "$9.99" books would pay for it. They basically have, but more and more those books you couldn't get anywhere else are becoming available. Besides the 9.99 books Amazon isn't a whole lot cheaper (and is often a few cents more expensive) than Books On Board. I won't buy Topaz books from Amazon, only AZW (Mobi) books. I want them usable on other devices, like for a quick read on my phone and stuff.
I'm fine with my purchase of a K2. I actually sold my original 505 (bought in Oct. '07) and have bought another one when I saw a good deal on a used one here on the forum. Problem is they don't really work "together", I'd much prefer devices that all support the same format than one that does Mobi and one that does Epub.
