The L is for Language, but not in the sense of a programming language, though Stored Procedures exist. It does somewhat more than Queries too.

I bought a 32 gb Signature (originally to upgrade my Mom but she preferred my Voyage, so we swapped). I've been very happy with it. Side by side, the text on the Voyage is slighty crisper, but not really that noticeable. I like the larger screen since I use size 7-8 Bookerly font. My only disappointment is that the Blue Tooth only connects to one of my devices so not very useful to me as a whispersync device when away from home.

And frankly that's the only thing I'm interested in. In general transfer speeds for EPUB/AZW3 files (typically <1MB) are not an issue.

Absolutely. Only some scanned PDFs and comics are huge. It's not like dealing with a portable video player

L for Language covers many sins including Prolog, APL and Brainfuck, and the S stands for Structured and the Q stands for Query nevertheless -- but you know what, I'm not the one who was responsible for naming it.

I've bought a Libra 2, and so far it looks very good (although I'm still figuring out some configuration issues).
Thanks for all the advice.
