Rumor also has it that this model was to have been out months ago, but still, I'd give it some more time.
After having used a Kobo Aura HD since November and giving it to my sister two months ago (she doesn't mind the bugs) I'm really in love with the page turn buttons and stable firmware. There are two things I miss, the light and the flexibility when it comes to font, line spacing, etc. The latter I can live without but I really want the front light again.

The one thing I'm hesitant about is that the Paperwhite has no page turn buttons. But if the rumours are that there is a possibility they return I will probably wait for the new Kindle.
