My apologies, I didn't know about that one because i got the Kindle Touch that year.

I should have said:

I assumed it would be done via account settings. It seems silly to do it any other way.

I'm not thrilled about the price, but thinner, lighter and with a higher DPI appeals to me, so I pre-ordered. Delivery date is out to 10/29 already, even with Prime, so they must be doing pretty well on pre-orders.

I was under the impression that you downloaded the .acsm and it verified it on the device, the same as any other .acsm -- are you saying you could browse OverDrive libraries without resorting to the web browser? Which Kindles ALSO have?

Because if it's just the browser, I can browse OverDrive on my Kindle Touch too, and redeem books on Amazon with the greatest of ease -- besides the part where the browser is slow, and only with one of the hacked ones can I open the Amazon lend redemption in a new tab, and have half-decent bookmark accessibility.

I thought we were speaking about something a little more useful, like having it baked in with a native UI the way the Kindle Store is.

Wish I had that kind of cash in my cookie jar.
I can see the appeal, but my Kindle has to reach puberty before I replace it again. Not that I'm not tempted.
The regular price of the Paperwhite 2 was $119 at the time, and I paid $19, so in my mind, I'm deducting the $100 I saved from the cost of the Voyage. (You're spoiling my attempts to rationalize buying an overpriced e-reader. )

I ordered last night and expected delivery is 10/21. Was there an earlier delivery date than that?

You should be able to turn it down to practically nothing. There is also a hack to disable it, or even set schedules.

In other words, it should be exactly the same as the PW.

I held out for almost 24 hours before placing my order. I think it was the sticker shock that held me up. In the end, the increased screen resolution and the page press options carried the decision. I ordered the 3g with special offers. (Now that I am used to the special offers I kind of like them)

In the past, I have automatically upgraded to the new model for both the Kindle and Kobo. But with the high end readers for both companies at or above $200, I am going to have to re-think my upgrade policy and possibly go to an every-other-year plan. This hobby is getting expensive.

My delivery date is Oct. 21, can't wait.

Will the kindle paperwhite get new features from the new Kindle and Kindle Voyage like word wise...? Actually I don't see any huge improvements in Kindle Voyage except 300 ppi, because the screen in Kindle Paperwhite next gen is e-ink carta already.

As I saw in the video, the texts look very crisp but the color looks gray, not black . I don't think I will upgrade.
