For me this is a huge step backwards for the Kindle line. No processor speed increase, no elimination of the screen refresh, and no screen size or resolution increase. And with the cover it weighs 2.1 ounces more than the Voyage.
That is not what I was hoping for with the top of the line Kindle. And to think I was so excited last week to retire my Voyage. It stays another year.

The design is not a step backwards.
I know balance and ergonomics are concepts that require more understanding of mathematics and special relations than some people can master, but they are an advanced concept and an intentional planned asymmetric design that serves a function for some people is no throwback.
Even if this isn't something I need now, it might be when I am seventy. or if I tear ligaments or tendons in my left arm more severely than I have already.
