I voted "maybe later". Mostly because I have only had my very first Kindle (4, non-touch) for a month, and it's too soon to buy another. But I think a Paperwhite (unfortunate name, doesn't roll off the tongue very easily, I keep having to stop thinking "paperweight") is interesting and I wouldn't mind having one in the future after trying one in person.

Additionally, if the Kobo Mini were actually a "Kindle mini" instead, I'd likely want that. I like how it looks, but I have had 2 models of Kobo (one of which my husband has inherited, so I still see it in action) and it's not my preferred interface for an e-reader.
