Does anyone know if the Voyage will have a faster processor and/or more storage space? If I had my way, I'd put my entire book collection on the Kindle (over 1200 books). But I can't do that on the K3 because it's just too slow.
For those of you who are going to respond by telling me to just remove some books, that's not happening. First, I'm often in locations where I do not have access to the internet. Second, I like to re-read books. Third, why should have to leave books at "home" when I can have my entire library with me? And last, I hate Amazon's interface for finding, organizing and loading books on my Kindle. Once I buy a book, I want it to stay on my device (and I'll manage the books with Calibre which is vastly superior than Amazon's interface)

I don't know the technical details, but I just upgraded to a Voyage from a K3. I would say the screen is the major benefit. I am able to reduce the font size and still be able to read clearly. This means fewer page turns. The software is also interesting but takes some time to get used to. I don't find the speed that much different while I am reading, but I haven't really worried about how fast the page turns are. Turning pages is faster than a real book so…
I will miss the keyboard for the precision it provided for highlighting, typing etc., and there is nothing really wrong with my KK, but it just felt right to upgrade.
