The one thing I would love to see added to the Voyage is the Amazon Ember font that's available on the basic Kindle. Not sure why it hasn't been pushed to all other Kindle models.

Wow, missed that distinction. I am sort of tempted. I don't think I care about the so-called buttons but like the idea of thinner w/flush screen. I see it is not actually in stock until Oct 16. As always, one wonders if they are clearing stock permanently or making room for something new.

But it would be kind of insane, I have only had my PW3 a few months.

Or maybe the Voyage is being discontinued and they've just been selling off existing stock since the release of the Oasis. I very much hope that's not the case, but time will tell.

I am pretty sure that many people would appreciate support for things like side-loaded fonts or configuration options similar to Kobo.

So there is always room for improvement. Like support for hierarchical directories or an option to switch off automatic indexing of books.

So, I've ordered a Voyage. When I put it in my Cart, it said Oct 16 delivery. I slept on it, checked again and hit the Order button. Now it says '3-4 weeks'. So plenty of time to re-consider. I suppose I might as well try it out, I have not even seen one.

Oh the Voyage is super nice. If you like your PW3, you will love the Voyage.

IMHO, the Voyage is the best of the Kindle lineup. It's damn near perfect.

Or the addition of an SD card slot...

That's all software. No need for a new Kindle for these features. It would be like Apple touting new features for new phones that are part of a new iOS update.

What would make the Voyage better is more storage at 16GB and a 6.8" screen.

That's a bit like asking for a sports car that seats 16 passengers.

SDHC support would be nice, so one could also install 200GB if needed. Anyhow browsing the library on Kindle may then take ages.
