I dunno - in my house our SodaStream is used waaaaayyyyyy more by more people, than my Kindles.  But I don't think I'd personally choose the soda machine if I had to choose.  I have, use, and love both. I would not want to be without either. |

 My bro beagle (1954-1966). I still miss him big time. His last collar hangs on my bedpost. |

Yeah, very tough choice. Ha!! Well... darn it all.  It's just the hubs and me, and I'm the only one who drinks pop. He's water person. (I suppose I should be too, but I need to have my vices.) Guess what? I just check at Amazon and they have the Twist 'n Sparkle thing for only $35! That's ten dollars cheaper than Walmart. I just ordered it and used up the last $25 on my gift card there. SO.. now I can also get the Kindle from Walmart. The best of both worlds. |

I just loaded up my K4 (I've taken to calling it my K$79) yesterday - I had a couple of books on it, got it shortly before Christmas, but decided it was time to get it set up a little better. I really, really like it - I seem to reach for it more than my K3 these days. I'm starting to toy with the idea of giving my daughter the K3 (she's got a K2). I've kicked myself for not picking up a 3G K3 on Black Friday when someone (Best Buy? Target? Both??) had them for $85. I hate shopping on Black Friday, but that was just dumb on my part...  |

When I got the K3, I wasn't even sure I wanted one and now could not live without it. I also have a Fire and my new Woot DXG. I love it for home but it's just too much to travel with all three. I tried! Now I think I may need to get a 3G K3. Took my DXG to hubby's Dr appointment today and I was able to check eBay, bid and win my item and read my email. Yes, it was slowwwwww but it worked. I don't have a smart phone and this was a great alternative. Am I right....you cannot check email with the new K Touch? |

That's my understanding - the 3G on the Touch is limited to the Kindle Store and wikipedia. I haven't missed 3G with my K3, but I do have an iPhone so that meets my 3G needs. My daughter would probably miss the 3G a bit - she does download a LOT of books on the fly, would be tied to wifi with my K3. It's a shame to see it sitting here unused, though. I didn't realize how much I'd like the K$79. I thought it would be my "purse Kindle" - but it's just so nice and light it's becoming my "all the time" Kindle.

We gave our son one for Christmas. I knew he wouldn't use it unless it fit in his pocket. He's very happy with it. |

I love my K3 with Whispernet. Worth every penny! |

Not exactly. The limitation is that the 'experimental' browser will only work with a WiFi connection. If you're on a 3G connection, you'll be limited to accessing the Kindle Store and Wikipedia. |
