It seems anytime you buy a piece of electronics, it quickly becomes obsolete. Since all the kindle can do is display books, I wouldn't worry too much about it. There are lots of people who are still happily using their k1s. I would be too, if I hadn't left mine on the train. I am so hooked, I want a backup at all times. So I bought the K2, knowing a K3 would come out eventually (no one knows when, maybe in time for Christmas?). I will buy the K3 when it comes out, and use either the K2 or the K3 for backup. The K2 is nice, doesn't require a case (although I would get a sleeve if you are putting it in a backpack) and does everything I want my ereader to do. It doesn't have an SD card, so I need my computer as well, but unless I am stranded on the proverbial desert island, I am happy reading on my K2. People think the next thing out might be color. Frankly, my dear, I don't give a D$%m. Most of the books I read (fiction) are just in B&W.
