I recently lost my Kindle 1, and so I took my daughter's (not like she was using it!) I want to have a backup (if I hadn't had a backup when I lost mine, I would have been upset). But the fact that the current iteration doesn't have a user-replaceable battery or an SD slot is a real drawback. Of course, if I look at how much $$ I have saved at the bookstore, and how much I use my kindle, even at 2x the price, I figure it was a good deal. If something comes out next year, maybe I will bite just to have the backup.
