An update: I did end up ordering the kindle 3 and have had it a few weeks now. I love it. It’s even lighter than the kindle 2, has more than double the book storage capability (3500 books!), the battery life is greatly increased (up to a month with wi-fi off!) and the e-ink contrast is dramatically increased, which decreases eye strain even more. I was unsure if it would be a huge improvement and was very pleasantly surprised.I ordered the 3G version because I wanted white but I do love the versatility of having 3G available wherever I go. The wi-fi version only comes in the new graphite color. If you have wi-fi set up at home or are often in areas that have wi-fi, the wi-fi version will probably be fine for you.
The kindle 3 is a fantastic gift idea for any occasion for yourself or a loved one.
Since the kindle 3 is lighter, it feels more delicate. I highly recommend a cover for it for your peace of mind, whichever type suits your needs better. I bought the Cole Haan leather cover in Burgundy which adds a very luxurious feel to the reading experience, making it feel a great deal like reading a leather-bound book.
