The Kindle Voyage is back
Look what I found on Amazon Germany:
The Voyage is up for pre-order and will be delivered starting February, 4th. Guess some of you are extremely happy now, aren't you? Heck, I was so excited for to see this, I nearly ordered one. And I'd never buy a Kindle. Or would I? |

Also available for pre-order in the UK.
I can only imagine that they've come across some old stock. Note it's only the WiFi model available. From 4th February. Last edited by pdurrant; 01-28-2020 at 08:42 AM. |

Too bad it’s the WiFi-only model, if it was the cellular one I would have jumped on it!

Why waste your money on 3G? 3G is dying and eventually, there won't be 3G support from the cell providers. If you have a 4G or 5G phone that allows you to tether, then you can tether your Kindle an do it that way.

Nah, not me. Those who were mourning the Voyages demise. I am mourning the loss of my Aura One! I didn't take to the Forma. That blasted wedge with the buttons was always in the way.

As to backup kindles in general, newer kindles have a deep sleep mode that approaches the power saving benefits of power off. |

But the Voyage is not a newer Kindle. It's not an older Kindle either. It's a mid-life crisis Kindle.

An opinion that it is never ever OK for anyone anywhere to have a backup kindle of any model is rubbish. |
