Which is one of the reasons why I don't have a Kindle.

Anyway, I like what I read about the Voyager. Kind of ironic, though, that I had been lamenting the lack of page-turn buttons for a long time, and when I finally get used to not having them, buttons/button-like sensors become popular again!

Happy with the non-HD Kobo Aura, though, and would get a H2O if it broke, but it being an Amazon product aside, the Voyager looks good to me.

Well, for better or for worse I have pre-ordered a Voyage. I chose it over a PW for a couple of reasons: firstly, it's a new new new gadget and secondly I got it for a very good price (wifi only, don't need 3G)

Now the wait begins!

I'm sure you got it for exactly the same pre-order price that everybody else did.

Couldn't it be that he lowered the price using gift cards or Amazon coin credit or something? He paid in a different way, in that case, but still, the immediate layout of money would be less.

I'm assuming one CAN use gift cards and credit on pre-orders; I don't know for sure.

Interesting I have been wondering whaat Kobo users thought of the Amazon lineup.

Maybe, but that has no impact on the overall price paid.

Since you chose to bring it up in the discussion, are you going to explain?

Ah well, a couple of months back I got a 20% off code for a Kindle. When the Voyage was announced, I emailed to ask if it was valid for the new device and they said "no, but as you asked so nicely..." and voila! job done, order placed. :-)

Why thank you. :-)

I always find that politeness works wonders and my motto is "if you don't ask, you don't get!"
