To be perfectly honest guys, the last firmware update I recall that actually added new features and major updates worthy of mention was the update to 2.5 (pre-Kindle 3). Since then, new features has almost always meant new hardware—with OTA firmware updates that are usually little more than bug fixes.

Maybe there'll be a big update to address user requests for the Kindle Touch (I hope there is for all your sakes), but if past practice is anything to go by, you'll be buying new hardware to get most of the new features/big changes you're asking for.

Most likely, the biggest feature update you'll see is support for the new KF8 format. And there's a good chance that the KT already has a lot of that built in it already (just unused as of yet) .
