This has to be the quietest Kindle launch in Mobileread history.

Yeah. Now compare it to the new Kobo threads... of which there are several and they're pretty noisy.
But then in no way does MR reflect the general user base. Most active members here are tinkerers and so naturally gravitate toward Kobo, because Amazon has locked their ebooks and readers down more and more with each passing year. And Kobo has done some serious work on both their hardware and software in recent years, while maintaining their general open-source policy.
Edit: I wanted to ask, did you get one of the new Paperwhites? If not, why?
