When the K-2 was released I found the design changes to be pleasing. After reading most of the customer reviews (thank you all), I decided to purchase the K-2. I have to say, I'm not at all disappointed. Once I start reading on the K-2, I quickly forget that I'm not physically enjoying a paper bound book. The K-2 surpassed all of my expectations. I am amazed how crisp and clean the type display is, and I enjoy having the capability of increasing the font size when my eyes are tired, or when I encounter lower light levels. I also get a kick out of the K-2's ability to convert the text to speech. My younger sister is visually impaired and has access to almost any book in digital format; however, she enjoyed this feature on the K-2 when I showed it to her. The speaker volume is also impressive coming from such a slim unit. Of course the DX was released within days after I received my K-2. I'd considered upgrading but decided to stick with the K-2 for the smaller, portable size. Once the DX has been out a while and there are real consumer comparisons to be made, I may consider a second larger reader in the future.
