Overall, the UI of this Kindle felt very responsive. You can flick through the carousel seamlessly. This is something Amazon has apparently been working on quite a bit, I'm told. And they continue to. Some of the page-turning touch mechanics still needed a bit of work in the version I used.
I couldn't care less whether it has some whizzy carousel interface, but if page turning isn't at least as easy, responsive, and reliable as existing Kindles, I'm not interested enough in color and video to put up with flakey page turning and having to recharge every day.
