Received my PW Signature Edition.
Nothing fancy about it, I don't feel like this edition is really worth the premium. The screen is better than the PW4, but still is made of plastic. Which is a serious downgrade compared to the Oasis 3 / Voyage.
I love that the neutral white is warmer than the PW4 and performance in general seem on par with the Oasis 3.

Compared to the Libra 2: The contrast / blacks are slightly better on the Libra 2 / Sage but the performance navigating in the menu is so much better on the Paperwhite (better than the Sage too)
It's a snappy fast Kindle, good upgrade for anybody already using and loving an older Paperwhite / basic kindle.

This Kindle Paperwhite, even in its Signature Edition is not for anybody loving the premium devices like the Voyage or Oasis. For me the Oasis 3 is a better choice.

So, until Amazon upgrades / replaces the Oasis. I think I'll stick with my Voyage and make the Sage my main reader.
