Kindle Paperwhite with night mode by Mother's Day. I just can't see Amazon not jumping into what seems to be a future trend.

By 'night mode', do you mean the white text on black background or the blue light filter the Glowlight 3 has? I don't see them introducing the blue light filter in the Paperwhite. Why would people buy the Oasis or Voyage then?

I just don't see them introducing a feature in the Paperwhite that isn't available in their premium models.

Night mode (assuming we are talking about blue light filtering) would be a hardware update and why would they start that on their economy model?

Buttons. Those things you use so you don't have to touch the screen.

Yeah, it came off as a non-sequitur, but I puzzled out his meaning.

Your post ended with a question that I answered directly. I type very slowly, so I might tend to be terse, especially since elaboration can introduce ambiguity. I left in the first part of your post to provide context.

You're cool, dude. It's what I get for checking while I'm at work.

For some reason, I thought you were predicting page turn buttons would come to the Paperwhite.

I still say Amazon won't introduce a feature (blue light filter for night reading) to the Paperwhite that isn't already available on the Voyage and Oasis.

Now, rcentros hasn't answered my question. If by 'night mode' s/he just meant inverting the black and white like you can do on the Oasis, that could be done through a software update, I think. So it well may happen.

Page turn buttons used to be on the non touch screen models. When Amazon discovered that some people actually preferred them, they decided to make it a premium feature on the Voyage and Oasis.

Now we just wait to see when BadeReader picks this up as what's coming soon.

Page turn buttons are an added cost that doesn't need to be added because the touch screen works to do what the buttons do.

Yes, but some people actually *prefer* buttons.

Imagine that...some people have preferences different from yours. It's an amazing thing, isn't it?

But I can see a day to come where there won't be buttons other than the power button.

I don't see that since they are now a premium feature. It isn't our fault, you don't like buttons. I will be nice and not post buttons in this thread.

Feel free to post buttons. I have a T1 and I've used the pager turn buttons less than 10 times. But as I see it, there's no need for them and you say it's a premium feature. We then are already paying enough for a top end Reader. No need to pay more for buttons when there is a perfectly good touch screen.

I think there should be an Oasis without the buttons at a lower price. I think it would sell better.
