What I like is that they have pared it down by eliminating the large bezel above and below, and have significantly reduced cover-less weight as compared with Voyage. And the asymmetric design may not appeal to some, but it makes sense to me, and I think I would prefer it to Voyage (at least without the cover attached, it would be much lighter and easier to hold).

How is its weight-with-cover comparable to Voyage-with-cover? Seems like even that could be less, especially if it is just a solar panel thing and has no battery of its own. But if it contains additional storage and can be charged independently (either plugged into something, or more slowly via solar cells), so much the better.

I want to think it has glass front layer like Voyage. And what is difference between 'PagePress' and 'Page Buttons'? The buttons better be quiet and not too finicky about how they get pressed.

But yes, somewhat disappointing if that is all there is to it.

Still it would be some sort of upgrade for me, because I don't have a Voyage, I think I like the form factor, and the screen should be more evenly lit and perhaps more defined text than my PW3 with its plastic front layer.

Price is obviously one of the most important considerations that is as yet unknown.
