No one knows when the next generation of Kindle will be released. the K3 is not even a year old and they just launched the AdvertKindle at $114. I would be surprised if the K4 is announced in the next 6 months but I have been known to be wrong.
Personally, I made it through the K2 with my K1 and ended up buying the DXG when they were announced because the price dropped and it had the new screen. I just recently bought a K3 for travel. My point? There are many folks out there with K1's nd K2's that are working very nicely and have no real problems with them. If you get a K3 and the K4 is announced you are likely to be just fine.

that was me! ;o). there were many final decisions that went into my decision to finally get a Kindle, traveling to remote locations was one of them. I ski a lot and cell phones are notoriously bad about reception on the slopes. I also backpack, camp and travel a great deal. the chance to have yet another lifeline if I got into a dodgy situation sure removed any doubt I had!
welcome to the world of Kindle!
