Me too -- I adore my Kindle Keyboard with the lighted cover. It certainly meets all my needs -- though I don't use the keyboard very much these days.

I'm definitely challenged with touch devices. I can touch one icon on the screen and it gets interpreted as some other icon. When I swipe to scroll, sometimes it gets interpreted as a selection. Annoys the heck out of me!

I admit I'm tempted, but I have a kindle keyboard that I keep as backup. I use a kindle touch at bedtime, as I prefer a non lit screen at night, and a kindle pw2 for the rest of the time. They provide a great reading experience, so really, I can't think of one decent reason to upgrade. Rationalization yes, but reason, no.

While I am sure it is efficient for them to do so, it is rather cruel of them to taunt me and already be including my Voyage under my devices when they thing isn't out until next month over here.

That's better than sending an email inviting me to pre-order the Voyager while it isn't available for international customers (I got the email from Amazon UK, but being from the Netherlands I have to order from the US if I want one).

That's so you can start sending books to it (or rather, queueing up books which will be sent when you power it on). That way it can look like your existing kindles as soon as you turn it on! Besides, queueing up books gives you (& me) something to do for a month.

I pre ordered the Voyage 3G with origami case, £269. I've had my K3 (Kindle Keyboard) for four years now still working perfectly good. My daughter's going to get the old one. She's up to reading speed in par with adults in Swedish, and now getting up to speed in English, just needs a little larger vocabulary. She's still pretty good - she's only 9

You go, Miss 9 yr old! NEVER too young to teach them the love of reading.
