Especially since it is just a software switch that Amazon can toggle ON/OFF. I cannot imagine Amazon not being willing to take another $20 to turn it OFF!

Sirmaru, I copied this description from the top of Amazon's Voyager page:

Quote:
Kindle Voyage
Next-Gen Paperwhite Display, Highest-Resolution, Highest Contrast, New Adaptive Front Light, Reimagined Page Turns, Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi + Free 3G
I think that Next-Gen Paperwhite Display actually classifies the Voyager as a Paperwhite too. I'm guessing it is like calling the Paperwhite model a Chevy and the Voyager a Cadillac. Voyager is apparently viewed by Amazon as a premium reader compared to the Paperwhite, hence the premium price.

A lot of people are angry about the price, but if it actually works correctly then I don't mind paying more. Let us hope they finally got it right.
