Well I pre-ordered yesterday. Have been looking for a second ereader for a few months now, and was seriously looking at the new Hanlin V3+ (Astak or Eco Reader branded, but in the scheme of things they are rather expensive) as I have the 5" and love it. Then I looked at the Kobo and was damn close to buying one (was actually awaiting my tax return), then the new Kindle was announced. After doing some very in-depth comparisons of features each had to offer and what I wanted in a reader I opted for a Kindle (two big drawbacks of the Kobo is no TXT support, and that damn auto power off. E-ink does not need to be turned off after 15 min of inactivity and who knows when the next firmware update will be that fixes that).
