Why do you hate the DXG? I just bought one to read manga on.

The screen is the worst resolution of any Kindle ever released. It's just bigger.

Yes, only 150 dpi.

And also the DXG was hyped for PDF. It's deadly slow for PDF.

Also doesn't do AZW3/KF8, so no CSS, no embedded fonts.

I adore the K3. If it had a front light, I'd use it all the time. For reading in bed without disturbing the hubby, I use an Oasis 2, which doesn't balance as comfortably in my hand, but it gets the job done. And it's jailbroken so I don't have to go through the crazy UI changes Amazon keeps imposing on folks.
The official lighted case is well worth getting for the K3. It's real leather with a little pull out lamp; came in a variety of colours too and very durable/booklike. I've got two Keyboards both with the lighted case; they can still be had for next to nothing on eBay. The page turn buttons, lamp, 8GB and readily available/easy to install new batteries cover everthing I'll ever need.

FWIW, they were 4 GB of storage. Amazon didn't sell any past 4 GB until the PW3 Manga Edition, and mass market Kindles until the Oasis 2.

I think PW1 was less than 2G free?

According to my computer, the PW1 has 1.328GB (1,426,055,168 bytes) of disk space. I use 1 GB is 1,073,741,824 bytes.

I do still love my Oasis 3. My mother is using it right now and I'm using a refurbished 11th gen PW which is fine. But I miss my buttons and the auto-rotate feature on the Oasis. I wish the battery was replaceable (all reports I've seen say it's not possible...that attempting to do so will almost certainly breaks the screen) and of course wish it was usb-c, but otherwise...

I had a long run with my K5 too (non-touch K4?)...loved it, but I might have to give 2nd place to the PW 11th gen. (I never had a Voyage and I know it gets a ton of love.)
