Welcome to new Voyage owners - Page 2

Just got a shipping notification for the Origami case, for delivery tomorrow. It seems slightly curious that they're shipping the cases the day after the Kindle itself.

Arrived just now, me like!

Is there a way to change the degree of haptic feedback? Engadget review mentioned it, can't seem to find the setting.

Seems a lot smaller in the hand than my old PW (1). I was surprised that, side by side, there appears a pretty small difference. The slightly narrower Voyage must be a better fit for my hand it seems.

Duh.

Great, thanks.

HarryT · 11-04-2014, 12:05 PM

My pleasure.

"In stock on December 8, 2014"

Mine is due on the 11th of December, just 1 day before I leave home for 3 weeks... If there is no change to that I might cancel.

Got mine yesterday, a week earlier than originally expected. I upgraded from a PW1 and it feels much smaller and more lightweight. The screen is clearly better and sharper. The page turns are much faster compared to my PW1. The screen is much more evenly lit than the PW1. So far so good.

The Origami cover is OK, seems a bit flimsy and cheaply made compared to the Kindle Cover on my PW1. There's no "tab" to grab onto to flip it open which is annoying. I will end up getting a better cover later.

Well, mine was due for delivery today but the occupant of the house decided to have a shower just at the most inopportune moment so it hasn't been delivered; tomorrow they will try again apparently.

Incidentally, I have just received an email to say they intend to deliver today, I didn't know Amazon did such late deliveries.

hohum

Amazon Logistics deliver up to 9pm.

I wonder if this is the appropriate thread but could UK Kindle Voyage owners share if they have found any hardware issues similar to our neighbours over the pond?

HarryT · 11-04-2014, 04:42 PM

Mine seems just fine to my eyes.

Offie · 11-04-2014, 06:29 PM

Does anyone know why it's only sold in UK and Germany in Europe? Just wondering. I'm lucky to be in the US this year I guess, because in my home country I could not have got the Voyage anytime soon. Even though I'm still not sure what to do with it haha.

Enjoy your new device and the end of the wait!

Arrived on schedule in Japan yesterday. I'm still bumbling around trying to set everything up. Pretty nice so far.

The only drawback (other than having the same amount of RAM that Kindles had in 2010) is when it falls asleep I have to de-magneto-stick the flipped-open cover to get at the power button.

On the other hand I do like not having to remember whether the USB port was on the right or left anymore — now just plug away, dead center!
