Q. I have the Kindle 2 and do not feel the Kindle 3 upgrades justifies the additional cost. I am curious as to how long I will need to wait prior to the release of version that has upgrades worth paying an additional $200. Any ideas as to what will be in the next generation?
A. 1st Generation: 11/19/07
2nd Generation: 02/09/09
3rd Generation: 08/27/10
I would say at least 2 years.
How do you pay for ebooks on a kindle?
Q. I'm planning on buying a kindle but I'm only 18 and don't want to get into the scary world of credit cards just yet. Are there any alternatives like a paypal account? Can you buy giftcards for ebooks at certain stores? Also how would you set up a paypal account if that works? Just what are some alternatives to the credit cards?
A. Yep, amazon supports both gift cards & paypal.
I would think gift cards might be the best option since you can purchase them directly at local retail places and then just apply the balance to your amazon account, which you can access on your kindle.
Here are the two basic kindle models you might want to consider:

Personally, I think the 3g is totally worth it since you can use the web for free anywhere.. so I might consider the 3g upgrade for $75 more.. but on the other hand if you decide you just want wifi (so it only has connectivity in wifi hotspots like airports or home) then I think you should just get the special offer kindle since it the ads are not that annoying (you don't see them when reading).
Is the kindle fire worth upgrading from the nook?
Q. I have a color nook which i'm considering selling to get the kindle fire. Just wondering what people think of that idea? Is the fire really worth the cost and trouble?
A. I would totally go for it - as the fire is really a full color tablet, whereas the color nook is really just ereader focused. The apps on the nook more limited and reader centric - and the new kindle browser is amazing..
If you pre-purchase now you can get it before anyone else, as soon as it is ready to ship. You can get it for a good price here:

Reasons:
The fire silk browser supports flash and rich media, so it will work fine with youtube, facebook, twitter, maps etc and pretty much everything else I would expect.
You can also load thousands of androids apps such as games and office suites, in addition to millions of ebooks/movies and music from the amazon store.
Considering the price it's a crazy deal.
