It is interesting that they have kept the pw and not just slotted this model into that pricepoint, the person that suggested that amazon see this like the iwatch and being aimed more at their existing fans rather than new customers has probably got it spot on.
I can't say that the lack of waterproofing bothers me either way, but the improved screen and the return of page turn buttons are welcome additions.
It is slightly odd that with whispersync for voice spreading onto other regional amazon sites now that they didn't include audio again, but maybe the reasoning is that people only read on their kindle and would use their phone for the audio to avoid the need to charge multiple devices daily rather than just the one.
For those who have used them before, what do people think of the origami cases, I have liked the hard shell of the current paperwhite case even if I haven't tended to break one anyway.
