[positively4th]

The last several generations I kept telling myself "this will be the last time I buy a new kindle at launch"...I just remember the 1st generation Paperwhite, being such a phenomenal improvement over all the previous models, but the uneven lights bothered me.... then the "all-new" paperwhite 2nd gen improved the lighting but still wasn't perfect... then going through the Kindle Voyage exchange lottery trying to get one without a 2-toned screen (the gradient from the lighting), settling for the least bad one I could get... then getting a 1st generation oasis and dealing with the "light cones" on the side now rather than the bottom....

I'm hoping and praying that finally the lighting is going to be just perfect. but I doubt that it will be. Can still hope. Worried that the larger screen will be harder to light properly

Excited that the battery case is gone, I keep getting weird connection errors on my very-well-taken-care-of Oasis. Hope it's going to feel similarly light (obviously won't be AS light) as the existing Oasis...

Couldn't care less that it's waterproof, I don't see myself swimming in the ocean or sitting out in the rain while reading books.

Very excited about the size. I don't think we'll get a DX again but this will do.

Excited about the cover that stands.

The Saddle Brown cover I hope is the same leather as the existing oasis saddle brown. It's really hard to tell from the photo.

32gb seems very excessive, I still have 1.5gb of the 4gb on my oasis.. but when they offer a larger option I can't help but pick it. I guess I talked myself into it thinking I could have lots of comics on it. We'll see.
