I'm certainly doing more than my share to keep eReaders relevant. I probably have about 10 of the things (including 2 with Kaleido), for reasons that I cannot even explain to myself. But I did cull the herd and donated a perfectly good one to Goodwill this week, FWIW.
My interest in a new Kindle is lower than it's ever been, and especially if it is just a refresh of current lineup. Almost 2 years in I remain very happy with Scribe (in a glass half full way) so probably about the only thing that would capture my interest is if they come out with a color Kindle with Gallery display technology. It would need to have 8"-ish or larger display.

I find frontlight to be overhyped in general. The sharpness gains without it make a lack of frontlight worth it to me (see the Onyx Boox Go 10.3). (I would also take a lot of buttons over a touch layer, especially if combined with wacom tech - see the Hanvon N10/Penstar.)
But it is nice to have frontlight for reading in bed or on an e-ink phone (Hisense A9). But I never use only the cold light - it makes me nauseous. During the day I use half and half and during the night full warmth.
