I received my new PW 3 days ago. Below is my personal review:
It's a Paperwhite, only bigger, and with a bigger screen. I like the larger screen, but for most people, I doubt it is going to be significant. BUT...you
can cram more text onto that screen. Fewer page turns. The screen is sharp and clear.
You can make the screen have a brown/red cast if you want, but it really only shows on the white parts.
It uses a type C USB port, which is nice.
If you love the previous PW devices, you will love this one. I had a Voyage, and I miss the buttons, and the placement of the power switch. The screen taps in place of the buttons, is...OK, but still not the same.
I like it well enough that I won't return it, but if they made a larger Voyage, I'd seriously consider trading this in on it.
