Deb,
Since it is your mother, do yourself a favor and get her the Voyage.
That way they are exact.

Yes, pretty much the same! You will be able to instruct her from far, far away...
And I dont mean to sound cheap, but maybe if your mom isnt too techy, she will love PW3. It's a very nice device!

Hahaha, no problem at all.
No, as you say, space and ppi are hardware related, so software updates wont change those. They will still be 4gb storage capacity and 300ppi, no matter future software updates!

Deb You have a Voyage... So go to your nearest Best Buy & Check them out.. My Best buy has PW3 but not the Voyage. I Never Seen a Voyage. I only seen Pic on Amazon. Pic are ugly looking... say its the Thinest eReader Yet it has what looks like a Bump in the back, & some button. No explaination for either. AND Every case seems to have a Hole in it like there is a Camera. IF thats what your moms going by kinda a turn off to me. Also No Case to give you any Grip. With arthris that sucks.

The button on the Voyage is the power on/off button. And of course, that's why the case has a hole there; so you can press the on/off button if you need to. The bump is not ugly but sculptured and the cases are just fine. Much like the case she currently has for her K4, they are (or can be) just like a book. However, she doesn't want the Voyage, which is what you are describing. That's what I have.

Looking at a Paperwhite isn't a bad idea. Not that she gave me a choice - she WANTS the Paperwhite. But I may take a look anyway, to make sure they are similar enough to be remotely managed.

Anybody know if one gets a second $20 bonus if you go through this process again?

Mom traded in two kindles, and we applied their values, and the $20 to her new Voyage.

I've got 2 K4's around my house too, that I have to work hard to remember to keep charged up; I really don't use them now that I love my Voyage. Maybe I should trade THEM in, and get myself a spare Voyage too. Or, more cheaply, a PW as a spare to trade in if there is ever a newer version of the Voyage.

Very smart. You won't regret the extra expense.
