New "top of the line Kindle" details coming next week
Quote:
I kinda wish I had waited to purchase my Voyage, but then I would have gone crazy trying to read on a phone for 3 months. I will wait to see the new specs before I decide if I have buyer's remorse! Edit: It is just details / formal announcement next week not the device release. I can't change the title though, sorry for getting hopes up if you need one next week.

Ooh, I'm definitely interested. I love the Voyage. I wonder if this will be the Voyage 2 or called something else.

If it has an SD card slot and can use Calibre metadata, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

It says details next week. Not it will be released next week.

Yeah, even after next week it will probably be a few more months before release.
I will probably pre-order and sell my Voyage to fund the new one as usual...I'm a sucker for the latest and greatest Kindle. |

Amazon never number releases like that. We might call it the "Voyage 2", but Amazon would just call it the "Voyage, Latest Generation", or something similarly imaginative.

Ya, sorry if I got anyone's hopes up with the title. Either way it is a new Kindle, just not necessarily as fast as the title implies. I corrected it in my text but forgot to update the title before posting and can't change it now. A mod can if they think this is too misleading.

I'm only interested if they *finally* match Kobo in font types, sizes, and other layout customization. Fonts and layout is the only thing I care about when reading a book. (Strange, huh?
![]() Oh, and it better have a normal housing instead of some weird asymmetrical back and stuff that necessitates to have holes in a cover. |

Apparently all it took was for me to finally take the plunge and order a Voyage

...and came here to find the talk of a new Kindle wasn't just an April fools prank. http://the-digital-reader.com/2016/0...dle-is-coming/ The timing is about right for a Liquavista product if they're ever going to do one. |
