manawydan · 04-07-2017, 02:43 PM

I am thinking about getting a new Kindle because it still has a very good display. At least the old PW had.

Oasis is way too expensive for my liking so it is either Paperwhite or Voyage.

I'd like to test the page-press fuction (I am still wondering whether and when Amazon might integrate an automated page turn as is available for Android reading apps).

While searching the offers I found it quite confusing to distinguish between all the offered seemingly equal devices.

So my questions are:

1. Where can I find out which generation a PW or Voyager is?

2. Is there somewhere a website/list etc. which compares all these generations?

3. I assume a new Kindle will always be delivered with the new(est) firmware installed?

4. Bigger font size is great for people with visual impairment but it is not possible to change the size of the user interface (e.g. book lists etc.). If I remember correctly the old Kindle Keyboard offered this but it was also the last.

Is there now a Kindle (Voyage maybe?) with better accessibility?

5. And has the display problem of the Voyage (yellow-tinted screen, not always but often) reliably been solved by now?
