I just voted that I'd wait, and as I was writing this reply I changed my mind. Here is what I would do. Buy the current Kindle with the realization that you will be upgrading in two/three/four years to something really cool. That's how I buy my laptops, cellphones, and tvs. If you wait for 2.0 and spend the extra cash then two years from now you will be looking at the A4 sized color Kindle and wanting that.

Or, you could always hold out for something like the Young Lady's Primer described in Neil Stephenson's book The Diamond Age.
