I'm going to do something you never do on the Internet , and admit I'm wrong. There were some innovative parts to Android's push.

And Sony had a touchscreen before Nook and Kobo.

Who cares?

Sony had an e-ink reader before Amazon. Amazon had one before Nook. Nook had one before Kobo. WOOHOOO

The only people who are about all of that are the people who spend time on bulletin boards posting about these silly things. Come Christmas time, few people are going to go "Well, I can buy a Kindle with WiFi for $99 or a Nook with WiFi for $139 but the Nook touchscreen came first so I'll buy the Nook. Oh wait, Sony came before Nook so I'll by the TS-1!"

You are most likely right about that.

The K3 does have 16x as much storage space as the K1. That's probably part of the reason why

I think the harping about SD cards is pointless. When you can store more than 1,000 books on yopur device, you have enough storage, for 99 per cent of all consumers

If I decide to get a second reader I would consider a kindle touch (without ads).

If they had come out with this one before buying my first reader I would have gotten a kindle. The keyboard was the deal breaker for me when buying a reader.

So it is tempting, but I don't see the need for another reader except for all the ebooks for the kindle.
