Built with the same i.MX6 SoC as the PW2 and KV.
The PW2 and KV have capacitive touch screens.

But to call it the: K42 would have lead to lots of confusion, so KT2 (second KT rather than second K4 [which it is, the second K4, both technically and to Amazon Marketing]) is how we decide to nickname it.

I have both K4 and KT2 torn down, sitting side by side on the work table.

The KT2 has a much stiffer frame design - lots of reinforcing ribs on the e-ink frame.
Not that I would recommend sitting on it, even so.

Same smaller capacity battery in both (one is three lead, one is four lead) with no provisions to ever offer a 3G version.

My main "concern" is being able to change font and font size, but I would like to modify it in other ways if I can.

I Have the same issue: changing fonts... Since is not yes JB (FW 5.6.0.1) as far as I know, I'm currently using Calibre to convert to AZW3 and including editor's fonts. Sometime it works perfectly sometimes not because of some strange formatting. I cannot understand why...
