The best way to deal with that sort of weather is to detour around it.

Kindles are light for their volume.
So their container is probably deck cargo.
Which means in those seas, the container might not still be aboard the ship by the time it reaches a US port.

Plus -
I have no idea what port they ship from -
but Hong Kong and Macau have a typhoon coming ashore.
Which means the major international trade port (Shenzhen), which is further up that bay is being pounded.
So don't expect much cargo to get loaded there until that typhoon finds somewhere else to cause problems.

(I really don't have a clue - but it is a nice theory)

I've been looking forward to the purchase of a new Kindle, and this thread prompted me to do some research.

As of a few minutes ago, availability of the Kindle Oasis from Amazon (US site) was:

Wi-Fi - with Special Offers - walnut color available
Wi-Fi - without Special Offers - black color available
Wi-Fi + Free 3G - with Special Offers - black color available
Wi-Fi + Free 3G - without Special Offers - not available in any color

All models of the Kindle Voyage are either currently available or will be in stock later this month or in September.

Announcement dates of earlier Kindles vary but the 1st- and 2nd-generation Paperwhites were announced during the first week of September and the Voyage was announced the third week of September.

The company which makes E-Ink screens has noted in a financial report that their revenues will increase in the next two quarters due to an order from Amazon. This is from the Goodreader site.

I have no idea what this all means, if anything. I want a 2nd-generation Voyage with physical page-turn buttons but that appears unlikely.

Why not physical page-turn buttons for your PW3?
We already have that.

GoodEreader mentioned the E Ink report in a couple posts. Here's one of them:

Didn't see the source story, though.

My post contained a typographical error; the site is Goodereader rather than Goodreader.

The exact quote and the link are:

"Amazon plans on releasing at least one new e-reader this year. This revelation stems from a recent E Ink Holdings financial report. They proclaim that in the next two quarters their revenues will increase due to an order from Amazon.""

https://goodereader.com/blog/electro...ease-this-year

The above article is the same one noted by vrf in his post immediately above.

Yes, Goodereader are not known for the accuracy of their predictions, so I'm not getting too excited yet about the prospect of a new Kindle...

If it isn't quite what you want, post in the thread anyway.
The more interest in something like that, the more willing the authors are to continue working on it.
Nobody is really interested in spending their time on something that has an audience of zero (0) -
it isn't like there is some company paying us to stay busy or even just look busy.

I had trouble finding page press areas on my voyage in the dark. I put a small bubble sticker in each area to make it easier to find. Works great. Might sound stupid, but it really works.

I just checked my prime now app and they have most of the Oasis models in stop to get in one hour. So there are probably a lot of them in warehouses all over the country, wherever prime now is. They have all 3 colors in the wifi model and 2 of the colors in the 3g one.
