New "top of the line Kindle" details coming next week
From Jeff Bezos' twitter:
Quote:
Heads up readers – all-new, top of the line Kindle almost ready. 8th generation. Details next week.
Found via Engadget.

I kinda wish I had waited to purchase my Voyage, but then I would have gone crazy trying to read on a phone for 3 months. I will wait to see the new specs before I decide if I have buyer's remorse!

Edit: It is just details / formal announcement next week not the device release. I can't change the title though, sorry for getting hopes up if you need one next week.

Ooh, I'm definitely interested. I love the Voyage. I wonder if this will be the Voyage 2 or called something else.

If it has an SD card slot and can use Calibre metadata, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

It says details next week. Not it will be released next week.

Yeah, even after next week it will probably be a few more months before release.

I will probably pre-order and sell my Voyage to fund the new one as usual...I'm a sucker for the latest and greatest Kindle.

Amazon never number releases like that. We might call it the "Voyage 2", but Amazon would just call it the "Voyage, Latest Generation", or something similarly imaginative.

Ya, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up with the title. Either way it is a new Kindle, just not necessarily as fast as the title implies. I corrected it in my text but forgot to update the title before posting and can't change it now. A mod can if they think this is too misleading.

I see two green men have posted in the thread so no worries.
No hopes dashed either here.

I'm only interested if they *finally* match Kobo in font types, sizes, and other layout customization. Fonts and layout is the only thing I care about when reading a book. (Strange, huh? ) All other functionality on my current KPW1 is unused. If it can be off, it's off.

Oh, and it better have a normal housing instead of some weird asymmetrical back and stuff that necessitates to have holes in a cover.

Apparently all it took was for me to finally take the plunge and order a Voyage I had been going back and forth in my head for months on whether to or not and when I saw they were $50 off I decided to go ahead. Now I wait and see if I will be kicking myself for not waiting a few more months

Well, there's worse. I've been pressuring a friend with vision issues to get the Voyage and she finally caved today, when I sent her the link to the sale. And she's someone who always wants the new shiny!

How do I live this down?

I just put one in the cart but dithered at the last moment...
...and came here to find the talk of a new Kindle wasn't just an April fools prank.

The timing is about right for a Liquavista product if they're ever going to do one.
