[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 317767, member: 1963"] Timer, if you are looking at using the Kindle primarily to replace reading paperback books, the K2 should be more than sufficient for your needs. in my opinion, you need the bigger Kindle if you have to deal with scientific papers, lots of PDFs (you can get hacks to make a K2 display PDFs, but things get a bit crowded). Also, the bigger, new Kindle is considerably heavier and more awkward to hold and the covers cost quite a bit more as well. I have heard about voice capabilities over the Kindle, but haven't looked into them because I have problems understanding verbal stuff. The written word is my thing, LoL. One thing you will probably want along with your "book style" Kindle cover is a reading lamp designed to work with it. The Kindle is not backlit and the background is a pale gray as opposed to white. It is actually pretty easy on the eyes, but in lower light the little light helps a lot. [/QUOTE]
