It seems only to work if you're holding it with both hands like a tablet, so you can squeeze the buttons just the right way. Every review from a 'big' site seems to be praising the Voyage for being like an iPad due to having the automatic light adjustment and the pressure-sensitive gesture area which acts as the page turn 'button'. None of them seem to really treat it as a reader... and even the positive reviews aren't saying it's a must-upgrade device if you've got the Paperwhite.

I like to hold my readers one-handed, and while the old K3 had perfectly good page turn buttons which responded well to any pressure, the Voyage seems a big more finicky. That's NOT what I was hoping for.

Until I can actually handle one, I'm not inclined to spend the extra $80 over a good PW just for the screen.
