I agree. It must be coming soon enough. I just bought my Reader last week, which is somewhat of a disappointment, but I knew there had to be a new version, Kindle or Sony, coming in some months anyways. I'm happy with my Reader, but I would be happiest if it had native Asian language support. The Unicode Patch is what ultimately made my decision for me in Kindle v. Sony, but it's caused a lot of problems. Blue screens on my computer, corrupted cache on the Reader (all fixable as long as I do a hard reset, and does not happen if I soft reset before transferring new files and then reapply Unicode patch..). If it worked natively and we could put our own fonts on it for readability, also natively (I dislike TNR for reading on these ebook devices.. TNR only looks good when in semi-large size imo) .. well, that's my wishlist. I would not say no to a bigger screen, either.
Wifi is nice but I personally love the Kindle's whispernet function right now. I know that's limiting in terms of international sales, but it sounds pretty handy. 3G at no monthly fee.. if only it had korean support.
