Seems like they've created a new way to enter the letters (using the 5-way controller) so that I didn't even need a keyboard.

I haven't tested it on any other games yet, but it was really easy to use the 5-way controller to play these two games.

Not that I can tell. No delay after downloading or sideloading books, so it must be indexing in the background like the K3 did. Faster processor though so it should index a lot faster.

For those of you with cats, you will be happy to know that the bevel design around the screen is not conducive to capturing cat hair!!! On the K3 the bevel seems to be glued to the area around the screen. This often results in cat hair getting stuck at the sides of the screen and it is difficult at times to dislodge the cat hairs. The K4 design looks more like the Sony x50 readers, but not as deeply recessed--maybe half as recessed. The beveled edge of the bezel around the screen is dark black which is good IMO.
That's good news, as Kindles seem to be a magnet to attract not cat hair, but cats wanting to sit on it. (Not as much as books, though)

Hey, I think I'll try something novel (pun intended) with my K4--actually sit down and read on it for a while!

I've been so occupied with playing around with it and writing/answering posts I haven't gotten to do that yet.

Interesting choices for screensavers...after trying out a KSO for several weeks, I have an irrational fear that they subliminally placed the words "Oil of Olay" and "Buick" in there somewhere, though

Are you able to post a video? I can't find one online at the moment. Post it to youtube, I bet you'll get a ton of hits

That line sounds really weird. Because "papi" means sweet heart in Spanish, or sweetie ... when I read it was like "I'm not sure sweetie" ....

"Papi", that's a very original nickname. Kind of weird that was available too.
