I don't have any plans to replace my K3 (3G+wifi) with one of the newer Kindle readers, but I am very interested in the Kindle Fire. I probably wouldn't be using that much for reading, however.
I did consider the new Kindle Touch 3G, but since you cannot use 3G for web browsing on that model, I decided against that. I like having the physical page-turn buttons anyway, so my K3 is just fine.
Even though the new $79 Kindle does have its limitations when compared to previous models, it also costs much less. It looks like it's a fantastic device for the money. Most people seem very happy with it, and I'm delighted that there's such an affordable e-reader option now. Maybe this is the device that will get kids (and adults) more interested in reading! I know that I have been reading much more since I got my Kindle last year.
