As a version 1 owner, it doesn't tempt me that much at all. Some nice things (more memory, better battery life, USB charging, more grey shades), but nothing compelling to me. And some regressions (no SD, battery apparently not user-replaceable).
As noted by others above, Amazon needs to work on firmware (and honestly, text-to-speech was not high on my wish list).
Better library management is especially needed with the larger standard memory. I personally would like to see more font sizes and user-loadable fonts (a big plus for my Cybook over the Kindle).
But if I were looking for my first e-ink device, the K2 would be a nice option.
(Buyers should note that a a cover is no longer supplied with the device, apparently.)
