Kindle 3 or wait for Kindle 4?

I am planning to buy the Kindle 3, and have few questions.

Can the Kindle 3 displays normal PDF documents, with the right format as I have I have normal PDF docs, which I like to read on Kindle 3?

Can the Kindle 3 display other languages, not using ABC, etc?

I heard Kindle 4 will be out at the end of this year, should I wait for that?

Thanks

    rumours are that amazon are close to announcing an ipad-esque competitor sometime soon.

    There are rumours that Amazon will announce something in September or October but thoughts are on a tablet which indicates something LCD based. I hope they update the e-ink bases Kindles at the same time, I fancy one of the larger DX type Kindles but without the 3G

    Think they are going the traditional Android based colour LCD Tablet rather than an "E-Ink" display.
    Sounds like they are aiming for the sub $300 mark.

    Can't wait... ^_^

    oh! and i think the Kindle can display other languages (their is a Arabic rom for the kindle3 out there and it supports right to left text.)

    although if a PDF can store it, a kindle should display it... ^_^
