I am satisfied with the kindle 3G that I have now and am not seriously tempted by any of the other readers offered. I find the lack of keyboard...disturbing. I find the current keyboard limiting as it is, what with having to frequently access the Sym key.
I know many people think that the kindle does not need the keyboard except for browsing, but I disagree. It is useful for sorting documents and for searching those that are indexed. I also enjoy making notes in what am reading, this would be awkward with only the fiveway control.
Most of the improvements I have seen are slight, and not actually all that useful. if the processor is faster, but there is no keyboard allowing you to browse the web, what is the point? Indexing is usually done in the backgound anyway.
Some pros are simplicity. If it's just a reader, the needed skills for the use of the device drops in number. Also, I won't be tempted to check updates and the like in the middle of reading a book.
In the end, it all depends what you use it for. I would not exchange it for any of the readers, and the Kindle Fire is not available in Canada.
