The Voyage also feature a flush front - there's no raised bezel around the screen area to trap dust.
Thank you for your recommendation. I have a few questions:

- Why the Kindle Voyage and not the Oasis? Do you consider the Voyage's display superior and if so, why? I'm guessing if the Voyage is hackable it's (just) a matter of time before the Oasis is hacked too?

- Regarding "the Voyage is hackable", what features does this add? Do you have any links?

- Any comments on the Aura H2O?


Thank you for the advice in your first comment:

I discovered after posting this that my SO installed Calibre and this plug-in on my computer while I was sleeping last night!!

Need to look for a plug-in for annotations next.
