Thanks for the suggestion, K4K. I do realize with a Voyage I'd be sacrificing ease of viewing pdf's but that is not really a concern. After all, I would still have my original DX for pdf's and, like you, I'm not a big user of them.
jj2me, I'm surprised to see the website says temporarily out of stock. Up until now it was saying something like there would be a weeks- or months-long wait for delivery (I don't remember exactly what it said but that was the gist).
Katie, you say "compare the Kindle 3 to Voyager." That is what I have been trying to do but have not been able. I searched reviews looking for an answer or at least a clue. They all just skim the surface. Few reviews mention in any helpful way the web browser and if they do it's usually dismissive of the Voyager browser such as this from Brian Barrett's 10/20/14 Gizmodo review: "I also think it's time to put the experimental web browser out of its misery, not that you'll be tempted to use it in the first place." That's literally all he says. Why not mention why it might be time to put it out of its misery? I do use the DX's. It's clunky and slow. So what? It's a true luxury to have a real web browser on a Kindle that works anywhere.
Which is why I don't mind paying the price of a Voyage if someone could describe from experience its browser's behavior. If it doesn't browse the web freely I might just order another DX, but I would like to make the jump to the newer technology. Voyage would be a nice addition to the DX for times I'd like to have more than one book open simultaneously or for traveling and of course for the frontlight.
