Thanks for the review. I have per-ordered one, but having seen reviews complaining about the light part of me is having second thoughts. This review though has probably tipped me into staying with the order and having one.
seems like you rushed thru this review lol but it was good. I have the basic kindle , the one before the new upgrade. I might buy this once the price goes down. I am in no rush
So is that weird gradient with the yellow tinge at the top of the screen supposed to be there? I've heard people say it's a production/manufacturing error.
I think they are missing one.. very important feature... "Text-to-Speech"... Which allows you to listen through an electronic voice doing the actual reading for you....so you just sit there and listen to it..like an audiobook... I don't see this feature on the Voyage or the Paperwhite!... like previous kindle versions.... Why did they remove it?.... That is why ... I haven't changed my Keyboard kindle version.. or my XD version...since I use the Text-to-speech quite often....specially when driving ...!
There are to many electronic readers on the market; I used to like B&N's Nook Glowlight, but returned instead to buy a different e-reader. I didn't end up buying any new e-reader and just ususe my old Nook HD tablet (I got in 2013 for my birthday).
One question, is it possible to turn off the touch-enabled screen? I hate reading on the iPad because of the touch screen; if I hold the screen it turns pages... I like my kindle 3 because it is not a touch screen. Thanks.

I so want this but I'm thinking of waiting for the Voyage 2.
why dont you wait for voyage 5.1
put some more nails into your coffin until then :)
Thank you for the review. But you didn't mention about the experimental browsing, I have issues about that on Paperwhite 2.

thanks for being so thorough!

It's good E-reader and I wish Amazon make large screen voyage 9 inch maybe ?
6.8 would be big enough -want it to fit in my pocket
Rich Buczkowski cuz some people liked the kindle DX and would like a new version.
i wish you make a video comparing the old 2013 kobo aura with the kindle voyage
Any cure for the dreaded tint? Present on all devices?

how are options a bad thing????
I can't decide which e-reader to buy Lol
Can you post what it looks like with the maximum line spacing?
How much space is available? 4gb?

i found the upper part of my kindle voyage screen is a bit yellow and the lower part is white in color. is it normal?

What's it like to use this to do gmail? I'm assuming it's possible to do it with the 3G version and the web browser.
can you clarify between Kindle and Ipad or Sumsung Tap?@@
my voyage left bottons are not working. why?
what is it like with no light on at all?
+sarethums In direct sunlight, no light at all, it looks like a piece of paper. Beautiful
But then why is it recommended to have the brightness on a high level if there is already enough light?
easier on your eyes to read.
You need the light unless you are in direct sunlight. It is front lit, so it's really not an issue. No eye fatigue.
Tyvm.
please talk faster
You can speed up the video.
