It would be the first step for merging ebook readers and tablets, assuming LiquaVista screens can be read in bright (sun)light.

Hey don't mock me. I plan to outlive my 5 billion year battery and I'm well on the way to doing so.

I'd love if the voyage was HD 1080p resolution, and at least 1 inch larger screen than current ebook readers.
If the front light could be turned off, would be even better!
It would be tops if it could read cbr/cbz files, epub, and pdf!

That would justify the $80 surplus for me of a paperwhite.

The Voyage is more than 1080p resolution; it has 1448 rows.

For me the small size is a bonus. I don't want something larger, as I found when I had the 6.8" Kobo H2O. It was just too big to easily carry around.

Why?

It can of course already read PDF.

Why? Is your current Paperwhite or Voyage broken?

Not too much has been happening in the last 2-3 years in Kindle-land, IMHO

No it's not more. 1080p aka "full HD" is. 1920 x 1080, Voyage & PW3 are 1448 × 1072.

It's not a TV, it's an ereader. Are the aspect ratios even the same? I'm pretty sure the PPI of a "full HD" 42" TV is far lower than the Kobo or Kindle ereaders.

I know that it doesn't have more horizontal pixels, but it has more vertical ones (1448 vs. 1080) which is the more important dimension in a portrait-orientation reading device.

I am still waiting for this to happen. I have a 10 month old Voyage and I am waiting with bated breath if the new one will be worth the upgrade to my KV1.

Best bet that it won't have a significant upgrade features that will make me buy the new one but I can't help but be excited to see what's in store for us!

10 months old? It's positively ancient!

The voyage was a pretty substantial of the previous paperwhite IMO not just in screen quality but design.

I'd be happy with a 6.8 300ppi water/dust proof design with the I.mx7 for 0 refresh.

If they could port over their silk browser that would be a major bonus...fingers crossed for tomorrow 👍
