I would only upgrade if there is some significant improvement. And the recently released generations of Kindles and Sonys haven't done that - in fact the Kindles are a disturbingly backwards step in many ways. I detest touch screens for reading - wtf do I want smear prints and reduced visibility, losing the ability to comfortably turn pages while holding one handed, and unable to turn pages at all with gloves on when reading in the cold? Not to mention losing collection mgmt via calibre, and having to shell out another £50 for another lighted cover. Slightly smaller/lighter is the only positive, but with zero other improvements they are a big thumbs down from me.
I'll keep my KK 3G for many years yet, it is too invaluable as an emergency free internet device when travelling overseas while being a perfectly satisfactory reader. Better collection mgmt capabilities would be nice (why my next device may well be a Sony), even better screen if/when another gen improves it and yes smaller/lighter without a keyboard will tempt me for a second reader to use as a primary device. But its got to have page turn buttons...
