So, it would really be nice to know what is what. Nice also if Amazon quit changing names of the units.........
K3 and Kindle Keyboard are the same device.

Amazon calls the K4 just Kindle so it can be confusing.

The KT or Kindle Touch is a given.

K1 and K2 are the old Kindles which some still use.

A Easy way to figure out what you have is by Firmware. Each Kindle has it's own version of Firmware. If you look on your K3 you will see the Firmware starts with the number 3 as on my Kindle (K4) it starts with a 4 and Kindle Touch starts with a 5 and Kindle Fire is 6 so I guess it could be called a K6.
