Well I misread the poll.

I put in what I would like to see vs what think it will have. Oh well.

Personally the must haves are.

1) larger than a 6 inch screen. I really like the my DXG an like the larger screen but at times its a little big. So maybe an 8 in green would be a happy medium. I don't use the keyboard nearly as much as I did with the K2 so eliminating that would be fine giving the device a smaller footprint.

2)Though I haven't tried the haptic buttons I really like the page turn buttons at the edge of my DXG and what my K2 had.

3)I don't use the TTS myself as I prefer Audible Books and Use my iPhone for that. I like the ability to have it as my wife will use my kindle to help edit her books. Hearing vs reading helps catch the mistakes and it would be nice ti have that feature if I only had the 1 Kindle. So speakers and a headphone jack are a plus but not a must have as I would just keep the DXG then.

4)Wifi I usually don't download books books but the ability to send highlights via email would be nice vs my current option of having to go to a whispersync area or hook it up to my desktop.

The ability to sync with OneDrive would be awesome IMHO. I store all my books locally on my HD and in the Cloud on OneDrive and can access anything from my Mac, Ipad, and iPhone so being able to do that would nice if I could do that on my Kindle and eliminate the need for large amounts of storage that I can't use anyway.

The storage is fine, unless they upgraded the processor or?? in the last few years
I couldn't put more than a 150-200 books on my DXG or it really slowed down. So having 16gbs of storage or a sd slot is a non starter. And if I could access it via One Drive over wifi then I would be fine.

I never had an issue with the standard font, the standard sizing or the margins like some people have and i haven't tried a lighted one like the paper white so I can't comment.

Here's to next week anyway. C'mon Jeff we're waiting.
