I agree with an opinion earlier. I doubt they'd roll out a K2 replacement within this year. I figure they may try to target a different audience, those that need the larger screen, to appeal to different customers needs. The kindle for readers who require something extremely compact and convenient but only read novels and such while introducing the larger (most likely twice as expensive) for people who read technical docs or something. i.e. Macbook vs Macbook pro or netbook vs laptop. I also don't think they'd call it a kindle 3 since it'd be a different line. Of course it's all speculation. I really am waiting for the Plastic logic reader to come out but since I don't see it coming out until 2010, I'll hold myself down with a kindle in the mean time.
