I'm happy with my Voyage, but they aren't doing much to make it better post-release. Quite different from what you see with say a smartphone or tablet, which gets new features patched in regularly.
A Kindle is not a Smartphone or a tablet; it's a device for doing a specific job; one which, personally speaking, I think it does already well.

Amazon do occasionally add new features - you will, I'm sure, have seen, for example, the announcement of the addition of hyphenation support that will be coming later this year - but it's unwise to buy any device with the expectation that it will do more than it does at the time that you buy it.
