My Paperwhite 3 has a ghastly GUI compared with when I got it.

I think originally the K3 only had a better screen than the K2 (peal vs viziplex)? The azw3/KF8 wasn't added till much later.

I'm thinking of K3 (B008) since the azw3/KF8 was backported. Also K3 has WiFi. There was option for cell/mobile also?
It was a bit shortsighted that the DXG (B009) really only updated the case and screen rather than adding more RAM and WiFi. I still feel Amazon miss-sold that to me.

The K3 D-ring + button better than the literally wobbly K2 joystick. K3 better build quality, lighter, thinner.
