I am going to upgrade to the Voyage as soon as it has a regular buy button. I can't use my Amazon points on pre-orders so I'll wait.

I will upgrade from my PW1 which isn't so great. I didn't end up with a good screen and I didn't update to the PW2 last year as at the time I didn't have that in the budget. I am glad now since I have a nice amount of points saved up to make this price tag less painful. I am all for a more high end readers with all it does. And the page press thingies are awesome. I always missed my page buttons on my PW.

I also have to say that my PW1 became almost unusable with that last big update it got. It is so slow its horrible. Even changing pages it way slow. It can take anywhere from 2-4 seconds to change pages. Might not sound like much, but try it and count as you turn pages. Sometimes I have to keep pecking at it just to make it go. So I am in need of a new kindle with light. I have the basic which is really nice, but it gets dreary inside and starting in the evening.
They should have kept that basic. The screen is so clear with no extra layer on it like they are now putting on the new one. And its so light and it has the reading bar and page buttons. That is all going to be gone now.

I am really kind of sad that there will not be a pure e-ink kindle anymore. By pure I mean the pure screen with no layers on it. It does make a difference. The fonts just lay on top on the basic, on the PW, they are kind of in a window. But I guess that is all we are going to have now since they adding the touch layer on the basic now.
