The K2 is an upgrade, but not worth that $70 price difference IMO. At least not to me--I bought a used K1 in early spring.
thanks bro, i think you're right about the K1 being a better overall deal, but my insatiable desire for instant-gratification won out: the K2 will be here Friday

what a dilemma this has been: deciding between K2 v. Sony 505/600. I'm just relieved to have finally picked SOMETHING. Its been a ball and chain on me for days (seriously). Seems like the pro for Kindle are great selection/wireless, but cons are amazon's policies (can't download any other format, must pay for PDF, no case, and battery replacement, which i've heard you actually send in your kindle and get a different one??! god i hope not). sony's pros and con's were similar. this was a tough choice. in the end, the refurb price won me, saving $80? hell yeah. i trust you guys this will look like new, and i have the 30 days anyway to return. thanks for posting!
