I wouldn't be surprised if the next Paperwhite has a 1280x960 screen to exactly match the Aura's 265 ppi while keeping the screen at 6 inch. While I dread it, I also expect more social stuff now that Amazon owns GoodReads. The Kindle will possibly sync to it automatically. Also, it'll be half a millimeter thinner, and 1 grams lighter so they can put this into the specs.

Those things wouldn't be something I'd consider an upgrade for.

But if they added official custom fonts, a lot of new fonts with Kobo-like adjustments, more sizes, more spacing and margin control, and allow Calibre to control collections ... Then I'd consider it.
