I can't think of a single realistic feature that would get me to upgrade my Kindle 3. I say realistic, because what would get me to upgrade I don't think is reasonable to expect within my lifetime.
As it is, the Kindle 3 represents close to a perfect reading experience for me. Sure, I can think of a couple of minor nice-to-have things (no flash when turning pages for example) but none of them are worth upgrading for. For reading books, I don't want colour. I don't want a lit screen. I don't want a touch screen. I don't want it to be bigger. I don't need it to be lighter. I don't need a better battery. I don't need more storage space. I don't need it to be bendable or more durable. In short, I actually prefer it the way it is.
Now, what would get me to upgrade if modern technology and physics didn't get in the way? A screen that can physically change from an e-ink type screen (non-glossy, non-touch, non-lit) to the type you see in modern tablets. It would also have to be able to morph in size from Kindle sized, to 10ish inches. Then I'd consider upgrading, since I would then have a device on which I'd gladly read both books and magazines.
Since I can't have that, I'll have to contend with keeping the Kindle 3 for reading books, and a tablet for reading magazines.
