Not going to pre-order the Voyage though despite really, really wanting the page turn buttons and 4GB storage (so we're back to the K3 minus the keyboard really ). The price is a bit much, it's a different size so that means buying another Oberon cover and obviously we have no idea yet as a JB working on that. Sitting on my hands (and money) for now. And it's not waterproof, maybe next year's model will be? Oh and not super keen on the "auto-adjusting front light", I'd rather choose whatever light level suits me.

We can't pre-order it, can we? I see no mention of it on amazon.co.uk, unless I've overlooked it?

Thanks - I see it's now plastered all over the front page. Wasn't there half an hour ago when I looked .

I don't need one, but I couldn't resist . Pre-ordered with Origami case.

I really would like one as it would be an upgrade to my Kobo Aura (I love the suez and firm factor) but I just can't get over the price

That makes sense. I want the new Kobo first so this is on the back burner for now, my PW2 is only 6 months old so I don't need it.

The lust for new gadgets has little to do with whether or not one actually needs it - certainly in my case .

I'm still feeling really underwhelmed. Maybe I'll go and check out the video on the verge and see if that can pique my interest.

Yes, unfortunately I think this is going to be an expensive few months on the gadget front. I'm still using my iPhone 4, which is well over four years old now, but it's getting a bit long in the tooth - the battery life is starting to fall significantly. I'll probably be replacing it with an iPhone 6+ at some point in the next few months.

I think I'm going to have to wait on this one--I really need to see it and hold it in my hand to see if I'll like it or not. I'm not a big fan of the flush screen, and the auto-adjust lighting seems like it might be a problem for me (unless, of course, it can be turned off) The "buttons" sound really intriguing, though...

It can be turned off. There is a button on the brightness screen to turn it on/off.
