I may be taking a trip to BB tomorrow just to see it before it arrives for me. Thank you both for posting those reviews!

I think I'll hold out for the Voyage 2015 model. My PW2 serves me well enough for now.
Not to be too nitpicky, but the back of the voyage is less than pretty. |

Wonder if it's worth getting on early, or better to wait until they've worked out some of the kinks.

ETA Surprisingly, a lot. The feel of it is important to me, too. I read without a case. |

General consensus seems to be that the Voyager is out of this quadrant. I've put a shaded film over the too bright for night reading light on my NTB's lighted case and I'm thinking about getting a flygrip to help deal with the double weight of the case + kindle. The film is working well. Hopefully the flygrip will help me seal the deal and evade Amazon's premium lineup until discounts commence or even until speakers and real storage are added. |

The Verge calls the side buttons "clicky strips".
Paying $200+ for clicky strips. |

I think the H2O would look better because of the larger size and as you stated, the ppi is negligible for most people. But that is my opinion. I'm hoping we get some side-by-side comparisons soon.
