Blossom, what is the memory of your new Kindle, and how many books will it hold?
Is it more than that of the PaperWhite? |

From what I was reading on the Amazon site, they're the same. Which I find odd but they are. I think it's because they're pushing the cloud thing.

Spec-wise they look the same, but the photos from Blossom and others show an improved screen, so perhaps the eInk screen is better than last year. I hope so, eInk should be able to make improvements over time even if they are only minor.

I forgot to mention the power button is moved more inward. This makes it a bit tough to push for me. This is the only downside I can find at the moment. |

That's possibly part of it. I wonder if some of it doesn't have to do with the issues a lot of folks seem to have with many eInk readers not working as well when they're loaded down with thousands of books. Maybe Amazon feels that by limiting thing with less storage they'll limit some of those issues.

I love the black bezel version. I hope they stay with this color. It says Kindle to me. |

K is for "Kindle". 4 is for the major firmware version number, which is 4.x on the Kindle 4 (Mini) that sold for $79USD, and also the new $69 Kindle. That is what we mean by K4. In this forum, people have been appending S for "Silver" or B for "Black" bezel colors (K4S and K4B). You may also see KPW for "Kindle Paperwhite" in this forum as well.

Can't find if you answered this question. Is it possible to let us know where we can get the font, and how to add it to the K4 S&B. Thanks for any help provided.

Thanks for the reply. I have downloaded Calibre in the past, but never installed it or tried to use it. Looks like I'll have to finally get into it. Have over 600 books, and have never categorized them. Looks like it's now or never. Do I also need Kindle for PC for this?
