But if I get gift certificates to Amazon and more reward certificates and manage to get to a CoinStar to turn in a bunch of change (which may take awhile with my broken right arm) I may still get the new K2 if the reports of it are super duper -- otherwise I will wait for K3 I guess.
I went one step further. I canceled my order because as much as I'd like the text-to-speech feature, I don't want to give up carrying my books on an SD card. I don't know how often this device will need to be reset and I dread the prospects of re-downloading 1.5 GB of material.

I think there will be a K3 with SD cards. They may need to add protection to the card so that it can only be used with a specific registered Kindle but I think the outcry and lack of upgrades will convince Kindle to rethink their bad decision.
