Since I tend to read in bed when my grillfiend is asleep, I'm going to have to use the light. That makes me think I should resign myself to picking up either an Oasis 3 or a second Clara HD for weekends at her place. Thanks for the input, j.p.s.

The following thread has photographs comparing Oasis 2 and Voyage brightness over a wide range of settings. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=292336 The thread below is for the kindle Voyage battery drain versus light setting, but the principle is the same. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293683 |

Personally, I was always blurry about what haptic meant for buttons so I never tried to get a Voyage. I love my KPW4 better than any other e-reader than I've had before, including the 2 Kobos that I used to have. I don't need a 2nd e-reader, just as well, because there is a lockdown where I am. No shipping at all.

I used to want a Voyage so badly, if I were going to buy a Kindle at all. I liked the haptic buttons, metal chassis and ultra-sharp screen. But over time, I've come to prefer my Clara. The Voyage has nice features, but there's no waterproofing, no warm light and storage is limited to, what? 2.5GB? |

You could always pony up the $20.00 US to have the ads removed if you find them that much of an issue.

Part of why I've never looked seriously at getting a Kindle, though I do buy my books from Amazon. |

At last, my fledgling horror novel has a title! THE GRILLFIEND. I just knew that someday, somewhere, a title more confusing than Neal Stephenson's REAMDE would appear.

I can only ask, of course, since I've been using the phrase in public all my life. I'm not very prolific, though I did write a collection that won the Firecracker Award and was nominated for a Bram Stoker years ago. |

Can you supply a link, please, on your Stoker nominated work? |
