Don't get me wrong, I am in the process of switching right now as well. Have not touched my PW since I got my new 5.7 inch mini tablet (a Note 4). It is definitely a different reading experience since it looks so different (same height screen, but much smaller width). On the plus side I do like my page turn buttons (volume keys) that make it possible to read without moving a finger - just need to press. Unlike the Voyage I won't need to worry about uneven screen - my new ereader/tablet/phone combo has pretty much a perfect screen.
Obviously duckie you can keep yourself on track a lot better than me, if I used a tablet to read ebooks I would probably spend 10% of the time actually with the ebook and the other time on the web or reading email. I need to stay with the dedicated reader to keep myself on track. I need to keep myself focused on the book at hand.
