Hard to describe but I will try.

Fumbliness - The smaller the ereader, the more fumbly I am with it. I have a similar problem with the Nook Glo compared to the Nook ST. I have minor neurological issues in my hand, but these smaller devices seem to show just how clumsy I am. Poo.

Font - there is something subtly different with what appears to be the same font on each ereader. I'm not sure if it is the font or the fact that you have to look through glass on the Voyage and it changes it slightly. Keep in mind that I have profound vision problems, so something that would not affect someone with regular vision wouldn't likely even notice. I have ghosting around images and it is more of a problem on the Voyage. It is not the lighting as I keep that off most of the time since I have an excellent reading light. It is slightly annoying and I probably would get over it if I didn't have a choice.

Battery - OK, I promise to try another test since all the indexing should finally be done. When I first got my Voyage, I could barely finish a single book without recharging while I can read 2-3 books on the Kindle Keyboard without recharging. I will try to do a test over the next week or so and see if this problem is better now. Alas, I am running into some issues with my remaining Kindle Keyboard, so I may only get another year out of it. Sniff. It's my current take-a-long ereader.

3G - No, couldn't afford $75 to get it on the Voyage. What is up with that? It was an additional $20 on the Kindle Keyboard. I rarely have to use it, but do use it on these occasions where I have to care for an unhealthy relative who does not have wifi. This is usually unplanned and lasts a week or two. I will miss this feature when the KK dies. Being able to download my latest Asimov magazine or something from my archive was great when I had no idea when I'd be home next. I can't figure why the cost went up so high other than as a deterrent for people to buy it.

Folder organization - I have given up. I have no idea how to get collections to work on the Voyage. The time I could have spent reading an entire book I wasted trying to put stuff into collections and then find them on the Voyage. I hated the organization on the Nook (only thing I didn't like) and now the Voyage is organized the same way it seems.

I actually had to get 2 devices to make up for a single Kindle Keyboard - needed an ereader as well as a device that did text to speech. I'm happy with the Fire HDX for that, but now when I go out of town, I have to take 2 things with me instead of one.

No matter what they do, they will never make all of us happy, but what the heck is with the collections? Just no point having more than 10 books or magazines on my ereader without being able to put stuff into easy to find folders. Buttons were the least of my problems, it seems, although buttons were the motivating factor to get the Voyage over the paperwhite.
