[Buran]

Ordered one up in 32gb cellular no offers. I've been wanting to be able to read in the tub for a while along with getting more storage. I read a lot so it's very worth it to me to not compromise on Kindles.

Fine print: the cover isn't included in the box anymore so you have to order separately. Went with blue water-safe. I'm OK with the battery being included in the Kindle - that way third party covers don't lose functionality over the original cover.

It's probably doable for this Kindle because batteries are getting better (the new iPhones have a smaller battery, too, but similar battery life) and because the Kindle itself is slightly wider, creating more space for a battery to fit into.

I hope that rumored solar cover will come along. Maybe now that the cover doesn't have to contain a battery for the best battery life, it will become available for this Kindle as an add-on.
