Re: All-New Kindle Paperwhite
#2I have owned the original Paperwhite since it came out, and I love it - can't recommend it highly enough. The frontlighting is wonderful.
However, I really wish that this newer one had physical buttons on the side for turning the pages, like some of the other Kindle models. I find the touchscreen rather irritating when reading. It's much easier to have buttons on the side that you can press without moving your hand/finger.
If they had included this, I would easily have laid down $120 for an upgrade immediately.

I have a Kindle 3 and the sole reason why I haven't upgraded to a Paperwhite is lack of page turn buttons.

#4I just got a paperwhite a month ago as a present, having owned the last pre-paperwhite model - it's fabulous. This "All New" model seems to be... almost exactly the same?
Anyone know how software updates tend to apply to older kindles? as a lot of the "Features" seem to be minor software tweaks....

#5Got a DX size? Nope? Not interested.
Seriously. It's 2013. Make something that feels and has the space of a full-sized book. It's not that hard. Hell, use it as a loss-leader if you can't make the numbers work.

God yes I miss those buttons on my paperwhite :(
I also wish I could turn the backlight off completely rather than just lower it to the lowest setting.

You can turn it off completely, the lowest setting is off.

I checked for 1) buttons, 2) a lighter version. Found none of the above, so I'll stick to my Kindle 3.
I don't think Amazon appreciates how important buttons are for reading in non-perfect setups. Sure, if you're on your couch or by the swimming pool, you might not care. But try reading on a subway or a bus. Or with gloves on.

Not every product that loses money qualifies as a loss leader.

No. The lowest setting is still slightly lit: http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle/ref=cm_cd_pg_pg1?_encodin...
