The 32GB iPad is only $270 at Best Buy. It is not so much the price, it is about what they offer in terms of a reading device. PDFs (textbooks) and comics favor a larger screen but apart from that smaller is better (for me that includes smartphones). I can do without a $300 Oasis and am not sure I would prefer it to my Voyage, or use it more than I’m using my Voyage.
Here are some features I would be looking for in a new Kindle (replacing Paperwhite or Voyage):
- improve Audible to include immersion reading
- add Plain Old TTS (alongside VoiceView) and ability to download additional voices
- 8GB
- Bluetooth
- new CPU/GPU same as Oasis, hence supporting Invert Black & White
I would like flush screen, light sensor, page buttons too but if they delivered the above for $120 Paperwhite and there seemed no prospect for a new Voyage, I’d probably get one.
