I bought a KT with special offers which is en route and decided I would give it a couple weeks before opting to pay to have the offers removed. No need for that now, as I'll be saving up for this (in the hope that this is indeed what's coming out this year) and believe it will be a good idea to have one device that shows offers to take advantage of.
Also, the ability to read in the dark with evenly distributed light was the only feature that really made the Fire attractive; super glad I didn't go with that now.
