I get the some folks just don't want to read on a tablet ( tho I suspect some of them have not actually tried it ), and the apple ipads are way overpriced, given the wages they pay for assembling them, but....
...looking only at amazon products, the new 6 inch Kindle Fire is same size as Kindle voyage, twice as powerful(*), yet half as expensive. Something does not compute.
(*) admittedly a crude approximation, but it can do everything that voyage can do ,except run for 2 months on one battery charge, and it can do a lot more besides
I wonder what it costs amazon to actually make each of those devices ?
