I am very disappointed in the new Kindle. I have been hoping to replace my old Kindle Keyboard with a new Kindle for many years now. I tried a Paperwhite a few years ago but the screens were blotchy. (I tried two and had to return them both due to poor screen quality.)

I would prefer a screen that is larger than six inches and I won't buy one without an amber light option because I read at night, tend to have insomnia and have noticed a big improvement since my computer screen has been set to more amber tones. I thought for sure the new Kindle will finally have one and I'm shocked and dismayed that it doesn't.

Additionally, it's probably futile to hope that Kindle will ever have speakers again, but I do like that my Kindle Keyboard has them and wish they would include them again. (I get migraines and like to use TTS without having to use earphones or earbuds.)

I was also saddened to read that Amazon's Liquivista is dead. I held the tiniest glimmer of hope that Amazon would eventually introduce a color eReader. Is there any chance they could someday include a ClearInk screen? That technology is still moving forward, isn't it?

This is quite unappealing for most all of the people who own a more recent Kindle model.

Blue light affecting your sleep may be a bunch of bunk. But at night when I'm reading on my Aura and my better half is reading a Glowlight 3, the amber glow is much more pleasant and makes my low lit Aura seem like it's glaring.

Lack of a 'comfort' light is a deal breaker for me. When I turn on my non-comfort light eReader in the middle of the night, the light is glaring even at its lowest setting.

I am happy for people who wanted waterproof, but that holds zero appeal for me.

I like Amazon's software, but I may just have to give up on Kindle and buy another Android based eReader instead to get the features I need. The upside is that Boyue and other brands tend to have much better specs for a lot less money it seems.
