Remember the Kindle Classic... yea, the very first one with the nice buttons along the side that you could easily press. (I still have mine, actually passed it down to my daughter).
The big complaint was, "When I hand my kindle to someone, they change the page." I think that's gonna happen with this device. Isn't it? |

I'm pretty certain that the Fire Phone was heavily preordered as well and they sold quite a few of them in the beginning but for Amazon, a product which doesnt keep selling still a failure. That's what makes this super-expensive Kindle so awkward in their product lineup (despite the fact that Amazon is the _perceived_ "quality-leader" in ebooks): it does not add anything substantial to the device, it is merely a gimmick-enriched "deluxe" version of the same form factor to which they attached the label "for the dedicated reader", when clearly they make the most substantial part of their business with "casual readers". Now the Kobo Aura H2O is just the opposite, and is, strictly speaking for even more dedicated readers, because is is slightly bigger, with much improved screen real estate (because dedicated readers wont mind, it's their main item) and more robust (water resistant, can be taken to more places without worrying). This is not to describe the "dedicated reader" but to point out what kinds of features people who use their devices heavily might find more attractive. |

The page presses can be turned off though. I swear I read that somewhere, I wish I could recall where now. Is there a user manual already? Maybe that is where I saw it, or someone else mentioned it.
I need brain food. |

I've been using a kobo aura hd for a year and didn't even consider going to the H20 because its additions were unattractive to me. When the Voyage came out, I instantly gave the Kobo to my father and pre-ordered one because its features were just what I had been waiting for. A year from now we can discuss if Amazon or Kobo was right. Or perhaps they both are. |

I preordered one; they're up to December already, though
![]() I'm mostly happy about the increased space and the return of some kind of button. The buttons (sensors, whatever) should make it possible for someone to develop a pool and beach friendly case that's neither a glorified zip lock bag or a Fort Knox type plastic contraption -- something like the old m-edge leisure jacket should totally work with this model. |

In the UK we pay 20% Vat (tax) on almost everything, including the Kindle Voyage

mad pricing. thank god or whoever that i live in the uk so at least i'm spared the whole ad free version farce. Also a bit dissapointed in kobo's new offering hardly worth a new model. Happy with my little Aura.
