I'm guessing they'll have some kind of discount on Black Friday. I don't know if it will be as good a sale as they've been having on the 2015 Paperwhite the last few months.

At least they are making it available in Canada and Australia, even if somewhat feature-deprived. It's not available at all in Aotearoa/NZ😡😠

Pre-ordered one immediately with the Marine Blue case. My only regret/hesitation is they don't have white available. Bummer.

the PW4 looks as though it has the Voyage case, minus (unfortunately) the page press areas. I wonder if it will have the same processor - or better - than the Voyage. I lost my Voyage last month while I was on holiday and first ordered a PW replacement, which I sent it back because, in addition to the weight and the heavy bezels (which I'd forgotten about) it was very slow compared to the Voyage. I bought a refurbished Voyage and also an Oasis, which I am still in two minds about. I don't like the form factor or how poor battery life is, but I do like the 7" screen, just enough to make it my primary Kindle.

Unfortunately I have a feeling it won't be much faster, if the speed changes at all. From what I understand it's mainly using the same hardware specs, although it'd be a nice surprise if it were quicker with the new release.

I think it has to do with the volume. The premium ereaders ship fewer units so it is probably easier to deal with problems that crop up incorporating the new tech.

Once yields and volumes are high enough, I don't see why glass substrates would not become obsolete. Maybe 400, 500, or 600 dpi is coming to glass substrates, so those would go to premium readers. But I would prefer plastic for e-ink. |
