That's what I was guessing. I figured Amazon stood a good chance of having them by the Christmas season which is a matter of months (less than one year) away. Personally, I would not buy a reader if I thought I'd really want to upgrade in one year. Two? Yes. One? No. If I didn't have a reader, I'd just keep using paper or my phone. I have a reader, and I would hold off on upgrading. Also, I figure once a great color reader comes out, the used price for the black and white will likely be even lower than the used prices now. If I had upgraded to the K2 from the K1, the used price for my K1 still would have been quite good. The models weren't that different. Some even preferred elements of the K1. Color and a fast screen will make a huge difference.
Of course I wonder if the free web access will go away when that happens.
