At least in the UK, amazon are also good at price matching with kobo and other stores, so even if they have some kind of promotion on, I will probably be able to get the book at the same price from amazon within a few hours if not instantly.

That's my experience too. Also, there was a 30% off code for Sainsburysebooks posted recently (which worked on all books), but even with that discount the four books I was looking to buy at the same time worked out just about the same price buying them from Amazon.

I'm generally the same, I might want to upgrade but have to be able to give myself a convincing reason to do so! The attraction of the lighted readers was enough for me to give away my Kindle Keyboard and get the PW2 (well I requested it as a combined birthday/Christmas gift), and I really don't regret it at all.
I bought my Sony 350 for its size (and for library books), but still buy most of my books from Amazon , and even if I was to move away from a Kindle in future, I think I'd probably still buy most of my books from them.
