If they come out with an 8" (or close to it) Kindle screen size I'll upgrade from my Voyage.

Amazon changes to an ePub with DRM. Now has 100% of ebook market and has bought the Big 5.
Apple changes to ARM for Mac. MS and Adobe are ONLY via cloud rental. Google/Alphabet forced to divest Android. Banning of petrochemical cars pushed out another ten years. Fusion is still 10 years away. Canada joins the EU and adopts Euro due to USA closing the border China defacto owns sub-Saharan Africa. China and India both surpass USA GDP Scotland leaves UK and joins EU Belgium and Ireland both have been unable to form governments for 2 years. Turkey is Ottoman Empire 2.0, but no sign of British Empire 2.0 Eurovision Song Contest done by remote 4K video to save on Carbon. Asean issues their own currency in an effort to be like the EU Prediction is a mugs game, especially for the people paying for it. |

I want to see other colors such as white and a uniform size without the bump. You can make a big ereader, give it a big battery and still keep it thin. Like the KOBO Libra, Forma pulled it off and they have better battery life. I would like a larger screen if they can keep the price down.

I want USB C. The only items I have now that ever need charging away from home are my laptop, my cellphone, and my Kindle. Laptop and cellphone use USB C. Not my Kindle. So I have to carry a USB micro just for the Kindle. I like fewer cables and faster charging.
I'm older than most trees. I want higher contrast. I don't understand the fad for colored lights. Sort of like football. I know it exists but I don't know why. |

As for colored light, I find it WAY WAY easier on the eyes at night and it's my favorite new feature, by far. |

Things would have to change a lot for a color ereader at Amazon. It failed with Nook. Who needs color when most of what they read are novels and other text based offerings? Use a tablet instead. I'm betting that's why the Nook color died so fast.

I bought an Anker 3-in-One cable, back when I got my iPad Pro that uses USB-C. I has a micro USB, and changeable heads for both Lightening and USB-C.
After I left my iPad charger and cable (that came with the iPad) in the rented beach house last summer, I was very glad I had bought that Anker cable. When we travel, we take one extra Lightening cable, the 3-in-One cable, and an Anker multi-port charger. We keep lightening cables in both cars too. |

Aren't they talking about the colored lights here? As in "adjustable warm light"?

Steve Jobs ghost came back and chastised Tim Cook for using Intel processors. So Apple made their own processor and are switching to it.
