Although I been pretty happy with my Voyage, I haven't really had a totally comfortable hold on a kindle since the K1. And of course that one was a wedge design. Best ergo for my hands ever. I also loved the big buttons, but oh well. As someone that reads for hours and reads a lot and then some, I get cramps, even on my Voyage. The haptic buttons as I have to hold the device are ok, but still give me cramps as its still hard to hold with one hand. Balance not quite right for me. So I often have to lean it on something. knee, other arm, pillow.
So another wedge design, especially a device this light its really getting my interest.
And as far as the battery thing? I always said that for me the ideal was if I never ever had to worry about battery ever again. I have a hard time not checking the battery on my kindles all the time. I read a lot as I said and I have to charge it every 3 days or so. Depends on. So when I get on the lower end, I waffle over when to plug it in and where. So again, this also excite me.
So even without a solar cover, if descriptions are right, this could get me some sqeee worthy battery life together. I might actually for once get the 2 months battery life that is always written.
And I could read for hours and hours and hours and hours and never having to check battery.
