I'm happy with my 1st generation Paperwhite as well, but if the rumor of ’squeezable’ page turn buttons with haptic feedback turns out to be true, that will indeed make the 3rd generation PW a serious temptation. I've learned to live without the side buttons, but having them would be better.

I've been reading this thread since it was first posted and I'd like to suggest you consider the possibility Kindle might do something a little bit different.
I bought a Kobo Aura HD and discovered a new dimension of eReading which I hope Kindle implements for several reasons. Aura HD has a 6.8 inch high density screen. When fitted with a different User Interface, it makes several things possible which I had never thought about or even seen discussed before.
The extra screen lets you configure your books to look like a trade paperback, with white-space used to make reading easier. With the ability to display user supplied fonts, a vast number of sizes of font, line spacing and margins, you can configure your books any way you want.
I have a mild reading disability and I've found a combination of these configurations that make reading much easier. In fact, trying to read an old fashioned paper book tires my eyes in little more than an hour of reading. But the ability to make my books look pretty is also important.
The paging buttons on my Kindle K3 are great. I can see them doing that, especially if you have the option to make the whole screen be touch sensitive for a right page and use a button to left page when needed.
Amazon is sure to be preparing something though. I can't wait to see what they come up with.
