Minor? Major resolution upgrade and twice as much RAM? What else do you expect? It's a book reader! I mean, I'm tempted, but every time I open my PW1 to start reading I realize that it looks great, so I really don't need to waste money nor environmental impact on an upgrade.

I'm kind of underwhelmed by the relatively minor update, but it's been a year and a half since the PW2 came out. Will they release a new model in the fall, with more compelling upgrades?
The Voyage was last year's new device. The PW3 is this year's, so far. Personally I am still hoping for an updated Voyage in the fall to sit along side the new PW3.

The "fall"? We don't have a "fall" in the UK, do we Josie?

September is the normal Amazon release date. I'm not sure why the PW3 has bucked the trend.

In response to the Kobo Glo HD, and the new screens were available, so they went for it. I'm sure there will be a new Voyage in the fall. I'm kinda curious to know how they're going to upgrade it.

Well, if we're into idle speculation, since they now have an ereader form factor with a protective glass front that people seem to like, how about a liquavista colour display?

Except it's not "idle speculation." It's a no-brainer.

Only if the display technology is ready for commercial production. It would be nice if it were to be, but I'm not at all sure it is.

Because Amazon is trying to compete with the Kobo Glo HD.

Well I sold my PW2 on ebay, as I had no bites on craigslist. I'm packing it up and can't remember if it came with a black or white USB cable - I have both laying around. Which should I send - black or white? I'm hoping the reset I did didn't mess with the no offers functionality it came with, I don't think that it would.

According to the unboxing video I just looked at it came with a black cable.

How does doubling the RAM help? It's a book reader, as you say.

The screen upgrade seems like a minor improvement to me. Granted, I need to see one in a store to be sure but I'm unable to tell the difference from the YouTube videos. There's also a trade-off in that the battery life is reduced 25%. Too bad it doesn't have a light sensor.
