I ended buying it from Best Buy. Bought it at lunch. Configured in few minutes and started using it right away. And like it so far.

I initially said that spending 200 bucks or more, if you already have a Kindle PW2 is a waste of money, and to certain degree, it is.

Not gonna take pictures, as they won't easily do justice, but there is a significant difference in contrast between the Voyage and the PW2; the fonts are way more crisp. Also, the black is more black and the white is more white. I know is sounds like a commercial, but it is true. I'm sure this will be important for some with vision problems. I do have mild astigmatism and myopia and I can notice the difference.

It is comfortable on my hands but somehow, I find the base of my right thumb touching the lower right corner of the screen , where the page progression is, and it keeps displaying that. I think is because its smaller size? Not sure. The PW2 is a bit easier to hold, because bigger bezels. I may have to relearn how to hold this new Kindle,

I like where the power button is. Seems to be more natural to me.

Regarding the new page turn buttons, I turned it off for now. Now I'm more used to swipe with my fingers. But the medium sensitivity seems to be good enough to avoid accidental page turns, but I haven't use it too much to confirm or deny that.

In my opinion, this is how the PW should be. It is a small improvement but compared to what we have 2 or 3 years ago, looks amazing. The fonts don't look blurred anymore and the light is evenly distributed.

Still too expensive though, so I'm afraid that at this price point, the Eink Kindle will be a dinosaur that it's about to hibernate due a meteorite that will hit the earth; tablets are taking over, and at 200 bucks, you must love reading on an eink device in order to spend such amount of money and justice the purchase. Hopefully I'm wrong but eink devices and users seem to be more and more isolated each year.

I may post again tonight or tomorrow, after work and playing a bit with it.
