I know there is another thread on a very similar topic however, I would like to change the format of the discussion around a little in this thread as a poll. For all of us kindle paper white 1 owners what percentage of us intend to order or have ordered the new version. I know in my own opinion I have seen the memo on amazons's home page and I have considered the value that they have packed into the new model versus the price and I think we all need to figure out a subjective question: How much value does amazon need to provide to warrant the price tag that they have attached to the paper white 2?

For just me they need to provide more value than what they have provided to warrant that price tag, the additional menu functionality + the increase in screen resolution + 25% increase in processor speed is not enough. For that price I am going to need something over 50% increase in processor speed and/or more menu functionality then what they have provided.

What percentage of us intend to order the new model?
