While I have no doubt that a PW3 will be released next year, Q2 sounds way too early. Amazon (alongside Google and Apple) have found the sweet-spot in releasing new iterations of their products in early Autumn; the buzz lasts throughout November and thus the holiday shopping season. A Q2-release would undercut that significantly.
If the PW3 has a new design as the rumors seem to indicate, then I will sit out next year's model and wait for the PW4 for all the bugs/kinks to get worked out.
At any rate, it will be interesting to see how the e-ink product lineup evolves in the coming years.
