Well, the PW5 has a flush screen unlike the H2O. But the same shape and close to the same size, with the H2O slightly bigger in every dimension. I personally prefer the oblong shape to the blockier shape of devices with buttons. When I moved from Sony (with buttons along the bottom) to Kobo, I missed buttons at first but I got over it.

Buttons are not all created equally. I did not find Oasis at all comfortable, but my PocketBook Era is just fine.

I know everyone here disregards Barnes & Noble, but I love having buttons on both sides. I can change hands without having to turn the reader around. I have a PW4 and I use it occasionally just to make sure I still prefer buttons. I won't buy another reader without buttons.

I may be wrong but I suspect that this will only be a minor update to the existing lineup, possibly driven by unavailability of some of the older parts being used. Amazon does not sell enough Kindles to have much influence over the supply chain.

one other thing . not sure how much a selling point this would be . but i hope they make the tts voice less robotic. yes i know you can get audiobooks. but not all of us have the data availaible to download gigs of data for each book. and they are some quite good voices out there.
