But, buy a Kindle. It's obvious from your posts that that is what you really want to do. You don't think the Kobo ecosystem is any good (if you just want to by books there isn't much difference). And it doesn't have Goodreads integration, which, based on your mentions, is important to you. You don't think Kobo's build quality is any good even though you've had a Glo for a number of while. And everything else you have said makes me think you want to buy a Kindle and are looking for the justification to do so. And stretch your budget to the Voyage as that is what you really want.

I think you're right, but I just dont have the money.
I can get a Kobo for much cheaper too, since a friend of mine can get a discount for me.
I would love to stretch to a voyage, but they are much pricier here in Canada. The Voyage would be my dream.
I suppose you're right about me wanting a Paperwhite... when it's all said and done, I can live with the fewer font options and "Time to Read" is the only real stat I'd care about anyway.
Is it crazy to say that I am in LOVE with the new Kindle homescreen? It just looks so perfect, and the integration of goodreads to display my Goodreads collections looks so cool.
I have a bigger question about sideloading:
I want to sideload all my epubs after I convert them through calibre.
But I'm really afraid of kerning issues, and other typography problems that I've been hearing about. I know there was an update, but what about sideloaded books? Is there a guarantee that they will be presented properly when converted?
And what about text justification? Is it only flawless on certain DRM books/Bookerly font only?
Thank you, and sorry for all the trouble
