Let’s start some Kindle rumors!
With the forthcoming Kobo Forma on its way, surely Amazon must do something in response.
I think the current Kindle Oasis 7” can hold its own against the Forma. However, the Paperwhite seems ripe for a refresh. Here is my wish list of features to add:

The new Kindle will feature a heated griddle, allowing users to cook with it. It will be marketed as the all new Kindle Fryer.

I actually have no wishlist features not already implemented, hardware- or software-wise. The Oasis 2 has mostly everything I wished for: a relatively large, flush screen, comfortable form factor, page turn buttons. As for software, my two biggest wishes (custom fonts and the boldness slider) have been recently fulfilled. Otherwise I was always satisfied with the Kindle software.
So I can just sit back, enjoy the rumors and wait for a new Kindle. Still, I can't deny there's some anxiety involved. On no account do I need a new Kindle (I've got too many as it is). But if Amazon should come out with something particularly juicy, I doubt I'll have the strength of will to resist, and my bank account won't be happy at all. Vade retro me, Satana...

And just when I had posted, something came to me: I wish I could disable the automatic going to sleep, or at least adjust the time period. It's really annoying to put the Kindle aside for 10-15 minutes and then to return and find it has dozed off already.

If you still want to give it a shot, to disable the screensaver all you need to do is follow what is inside the spoiler. Fair warning, you are entering an undocumented debug command, so use at your own risk. Spoiler:

Yes, my biggest wish is an updated Paperwhite or else a replacement of the Voyage - perhaps a Paperwhite/Voyage hybrid?
I don't care about bluetooth much myself, although I did like TTS My biggest wish is Waterproof, that's the main thing I'm missing now. I do wish it could be faster and more customizable. I wish they would have a few size options like they did with the older Fires - for those who want a bigger screen and those who like the screen the size it already is.
