Peeps looking for a new device may be attracted to the new Kobo H20 or the Onyx. The Kobo has the first 6.8" Carta screen and is waterproof. Otherwise there's the Onyx, but I'm not sure if it has page-turn buttons.
Amazon may actually lose sales to Kobo's H20 if they don't release a new model. As far as I can see, the only reason a Kindle user in the market for a new device wouldn't go for the Kobo H20 is because it's too big or they like to stay within the Amazon purchasing system. I suspect the rumors of the Kobo flakiness are much exaggerated.
