I bought the PW2 literally days before the announcement. Might I have held off? Maybe... though my Nook STG was driving me nuts.

(I appreciate the work that has gone into CoolReader for eInk but ColorDict is not the same as a real dictionary, and there was way no of keeping my progress in sync between my phone, Slatebook, and eReader).

The price is a real bummer, and quite honestly, as there looks to be little in the way of a software upgrade (with any trickling down to the PW2 anyway), I don't think the pseudo-physical page turning buttons warrant such a steep price tag. The screen on the PW2 is a vast improvement over the Nook... much more evenly lit, and very sharp text. I won't go over why I love the PW2 so much here... but I do so far... and the Voyage won't be any better at the already great software level.

All I need now is to find my perfect case (I've returned three to Amazon already; waiting on a Marware Eco-flip tomorrow).

(Side-note: I don't like this whole thinner is always better thang either: I actually found the PW2 in its official cover very uncomfortable to hold.)
