More screen space sounds great, but I'm worried about it fitting into certain bags/pouches that I rely on when I travel. I plan to head to a Best Buy store (pretty sure they usually have demo models there) to check them out in November.

But it certainly checks all the other boxes.. waterproof.. battery fully in the Kindle instead of the case.. stand-up cover (I never realized how much I would miss that origami cover from the Voyage...). And I'll be happy getting the cheapest version. Must.. not.. click.. yet...
Yeah, I'm not sure who I thought I was kidding. I totally ordered it over the weekend. I don't need tons of storage, so I went for the 8gb, wi-fi only - ordered from Best Buy, which will deliver on launch day, as opposed to Amazon where the estimated delivery date was November 21. But the indigo cloth case will be delivered by Amazon at launch.
