Buy The Paperwhite Now Or Wait Closer to Black Friday?
I am an Amazon Prime member and they are running the promotion for $30 off the Paperwhite. At first, I didn't know about the fact that Amazon appeared to be rolling new versions of their respective e-readers. So now, I'm a little hesitant.

Does anyone believe the new Paperwhite (According to goodereader, The company will also release a 5th generation Kindle Paperwhite with 8 GB of memory), will carry significant improvements i.e. IMX 7 processors, where waiting may be merited?

I have $15 in Amazon credit that expires Nov. 23rd, So essentially:
Paperwhite (Now): $74.99
Paperwhite (New): $Price - $15

You can return a Kindle within 30 days of purchase, so even if you choose to believe the unsubstantiated rumour that new devices will be released before the end of November, you really have nothing to lose by buying now.

I say buy it now. Amazon will match the price of a later sale.

Agreed. If you really want it now, get it. If Amazon releases a new one within 30 days, just return it.

I keep seeing posts like this. Isn't the PW3 a 2015 device newly released this summer by Amazon?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon..._generation.29
Why would anyone think Amazon would release a new Paperwhite model in the same year?
BTW I just purchased one and it's awesome, a big upgrade from my previous PW1.
