It's not surprising that you wouldn't get anything new from K&R after finishing H&S. H&S is intended to be a reference manual whereas K&R is more of a tutorial (that doubles as a reference manual, especially before ANSI C was created). I think few people would attempt to learn C by reading H&S.
Personally I adore both books. I do find H&S more useful particularly because it is more comprehensive and up to date (very good coverage of C99, not just a listing of changes in some appendix but has discussions about C99 throughout the book).
