In that case, I will likely wait until a good sale. My current one still has life in it, so I can afford to wait until I get the deal I want over the next few months. If it's like the last one, I can get a new one for about the price of a refurb.

Jailbreaking is for the capability of modifying the device firmware, so you can do things like use your own fonts, screensavers, changing the margins, and various other things. I think you are thinking about DRM removal and format switching, which is something else entirely.
The PW3 has 300 dpi. That's really the only major difference. Maybe there'll be a new paper white this year and it may have one or more of these things: a/ flush screen, b/ Bluetooth, c/ waterproofing or d/ 32gb of memory. If none of that gets you excited, you can try buying a refurb PW3 from Amazon, which should look and work as new and will have the same warranty and 30 day return if you decide the 300 dpi screen isn't worth the upgrade.
