I've seen the ads, I've read the reviews, and I've looked at the pictures. But nothing prepared me for how cool the K3 is! The contrast is a million times better than the K2. I'll be able to read a smaller font, and without having good light. I never thought anything could be better than my K2, but the K3 is.

I love the new design of the 5-way controller, as I never liked the old one. This one is a bit hard to use without accidentally hitting other keys, but I have long fingernails, so I just have to learn to use them instead of the pads of my fingertips. I also like that the previous page button is now on both sides.

Much better contrast, more words per page, it's smaller and lighter, and I'll always have a light thanks to my lighted Kindle cover. WOW!

Congratulations! I was expecting a lot and got much more than expected. I am quite pleased with my purchase.

My K3 is the first e-reader I've owned. All in all, I agree, it's awesome. I especially like how I don't have to constantly hold the book open with my hand while reading.

I have arthritis in my hand - holding a book and turning the pages was actually very painful. The Kindle solves all those problems!

There is really nothing quite like having your Kindle in your hands.  Nothing does it justice - not pictures, not videos.  REALLY happy for you.... we know the feeling well!

Just a little warning, people have reported that using their fingernails to press buttons wear the paint off of the graphite keys. So be careful!

Enjoy your Kindle though Smiley I'm patiently waiting for mine.
