Chaps do we have Goodreads integration? I've never used it but I quite fancy the recommendations angle... i don't think the last version of the software had the integration in ttheUK - or am I missing something?

Not available in the UK, AFAIK.

Personally I never use the good reads integration its simply too limited to be of any use. The only time that I will ever use the good reads on the kindle function is hwen I am checking out what I have on the site.

Could you call that an app, I guess it is an app.

No problems with mine either.

Just finished loading my reading material onto my Voyage. It's taken me two days (most of the time waiting for it to index). I've put 1853 books on it (about a quarter of my Calibre library), which has left about 600MB free on the device.

Now for some reading

Heyho all!

My KV was delivered today after the shower-during-delivery-attempt incident yesterday so I am quite pleased to say the least.

So far, it all looks good. There is a very slight warming in the light colour towards the top of the display but it's only really visible at high light settings, which I rarely use anyway. Pagepress buttons seem good and work in the catalogue and although I haven't read much at all I think I shall like them.
The display itself is rather nice, very crisp and the extra resolution makes it a joy, IMO.

Tonight I shall have a bit of a read and see what I think then.

Well after saying I'd skip this one my resolve collapsed today and I've ordered one for the wife who reads a LOT, I'll inherit her PW2, daughter will inherit my PW1. Might be Dec before it arrives.

Glad the early adopters are pleased, do keep the reviews and comment coming.

HarryT · 11-05-2014, 01:24 PM

The WiFi model is now saying "in stock 16th December" on Amazon UK.

Think of it as a Christmas present for all three of you.

Mine's LOST

Showing as delivered in Royal Mail tracking but all that was delivered was a package containing three CDs belonging to a Mr Symons in Gwynedd - Hi Mr Symons

My father, who took delivery rang Mr Symons, but he didn't have my Voyage.
So Cds have to go back to Amazon, even tho' we would be happy to send them on to Mr Symons.
They tried to track where it was but as its showing as 'delivered' the trail is cold. It may just, might, possibly, maybe turn up tomorrow (the date it was meant to be delivered) but they have processed a replacement for me. I'll give it 24 hrs and then deactivate it from my devices. Phoooo. And it is my birthday is on the 14th and this was my treat to me. Oh well - first world probs.
UNfortunately, the date for the replacement will be 16th December.... Good job my PW is a good one.
Sigh.... so come on all, tell me all about yours and I'll live vicariously for a while

Pangolin · 11-05-2014, 02:32 PM

Aha Harry, 'as far as i know' - took me a while.... but then it has been a long day

HarryT · 11-05-2014, 02:35 PM

What rotten luck for you - Amazon very rarely make mistakes like that.

I'd get back on the phone to Amazon and INSIST that they give you a replacement immediately. Waiting until 16th December when it's Amazon who have made the error is just not acceptable.

K for you for being such a good sport and also for using the word "vicariously". Good word, not used enough !

and hoping you'll get yours tomorrow after all.

My leather Origami cover arrived half an hour ago. I was a bit dubious about a "flip" cover, rather than one that opens like a book, but I really like it. Very nicely made, and high-quality leather - as it should be for the price, of course.
