CPU, is the most obvious upgrade. It is nice to see how fast the new Paperwhite is.

Bluetooth, audiobooks and note taking are features I would never use and have no interest in. Audiobooks in particular seem like a feature better served by a phone.

Ereaders are pretty solid as is. I wasn't trying to make a negative comment about the state of ereaders as much as I was pushing back on the argument that the Glowlight 4 is not a major improvement whereas the Sage is a major improvement. Especially when both got the same processor update.

One thing I would like to see is a 6" reader from Nook, Kindle or Kobo that has amber lighting AND waterproofing. That would be nice. Seems like an obvious and easy thing. I'm guessing the profit margin isn't there, but really, how much could it cost to add amber LEDs to the old 6" Glowlight Plus?
