It would depend on how important the inbuilt light was to me. For some it isn't the be all and end all and they will quite happily use a bed side light or a clip on light. When the paperwhite was first announced it was US only and amazon gave no details on when it would be released in the UK. At that time I was unsung the kindle keyboard but wanted to upgrade to the paperwhite after hearing the announcement. I bought the touch because I didn't know when the paperwhite would be released and past releases indicated that I could be waiting up to 6 months. Now one month after getting the touch amazon announced that the paperwhite would be released in the UK afterall. I was miffed as the paperwhite was the Device I'd really wanted and ended up buying it when it was released.
I do agree with the above posters. It's about what you want in the reader. If it has all the features you want go for it now if it doesn't then wait. I don't know where you live but the Nook simple touch and kobo glo have been heavily discounted in many countries. You could pick up one of those as they are so cheap to tide you over until all the new devices are released later this year.
