I've posted some screen shots in another thread and "we" have been working through it. It seems a consensus is emerging the text may actually be slightly sharper on the K3, but that's due to the "jags" that come with a lower resolution, and is not necessarily a good thing for the reading experience. There's also the likelihood that the light overlay blurs the text ever-so-slightly as a result of the etching. Several have also commented that I got an unusually good K3 screen, so my experience may not be indicative of most K3 users. I'm going to try PW-only for a week and then come back to my K3 to see if I've changed my mind.
