dat Kindle Voyager :drool :drool :drool

Edit: I'm still rocking my Gen 1 Nook, but I'm tempted to switch teams for this. Just want to see how the screen looks IRL first.

Ended up preordering the voyage. Don't know if it'll be worth it.

I have a paperwhite, I can see no reason to trade up on a working e-reader.

I'm not getting one, I still like my paperwhite fine and $200 is too much, but I do dig those haptic side sensors.

I waaaant but I can't justify 200 bucks. I guess this'll be the first year I don't get a new Kindle.

Damn, I've been looking to get an ereader on the cheap but that Voyage is straight sex. I'm sort of thinking about saying fuck it and getting one.

Voyage is gorgeous but hard to justify over my perfectly functional, still very nice Paperwhite

maybe if I see one in person I'll whistle a different tune~
