I, personally, am not deceiving anyone.

That was the link I arrived at after I made the mistake of clicking on your link (that takes one to your blog). If you had properly posted the direct link in the first place none of these replies would be necessary.

OK folks - let's get this thread back onto subject - the review of the K3. Any further conversations on other topics should be moved to PMs. OK?

The review says, "Each version [3G and Wi-Fi] is available in graphite or white ...."

I thought the Wi-Fi only comes in graphite. No?

It wouldn't be the first time a reviewer got something wrong!

Overall, good review. It solidified my decision to wait for the next "evolutionary" version of the Kindle since my K2 is just fine.

Ditto. But I won't avoid asking for a look if I happen to see another train commuter with one.

One thing I really like about my K2 is the large page turn buttons.

The review fella couldn't have been any more lifeless in his video review!

That said, I believe I'm ready to jump on board the e-reader game. The $140 no tax price point is hard to pass up, especially with a 30 day return window

Welcome, branchedout! I think you'll find reading on an eBook reader to be pretty addictive, and that it will encourage you to read more than you have ever read before, due to the ease of carrying the device, and the ease of getting new material.

I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of people that will join you using the exact same logic. I jumped on board when Amazon cut the price to $189 but was lucky enough to have ordered within 30 days of the K3 announcement, so I'm eagerly awaiting my K3 after having my K2 for 28 days.

that review was pretty good if you simply read or listen to what he says, however the dude needs a bit more emotions, simply don't look at him while viewing the video ;D

Maybe he should be juggling balls or something...

The guy was nervous on camera (he didn't sit still, as if always tapping the ground with his foot).

Anyway, what matters is the review in itself. And after watching a K2 with the K3 next to it, it really doesn't look that different to justify to finally replace my Cybook (which has a slight screen defect).
