Like Little Sister, I've had the Kindle Keyboard and never had a problem with it. Last December my husband bought me the Paperwhite because I wanted a lighted screen. I am very happy with it. I'm not sure which version of the Paperwhite I have but I'm pretty sure it's the First Generation. 

 

I wouldn't mind upgrading to the Voyage except I don't need it! 

 

Good luck with whichever Kindle you choose. You can't go wrong.


Define "need" please!  LOL!!!

I tried the Paperwhite when it came out, but returned it. I didn't like the shadowy screen and lag time on page turns. My Kindle Keyboard still performs flawlessly, but hubby was annoyed with my book light. I purchased the Voyage and I LOVE it! I use the side buttons for page turns. You won't regret the purchase, even at full price.

Re: Do you have the NEWEST KINDLE Paperwhite or Voyage? Any thoughts on it?

I am so glad I read these posts!  I have a Kindle Keyboard 3g  from 2009, so I figure I am on borrowed time.  I looked at Voyager and Paperwhite last holiday season and had decided when I upgrade I would go to Paperwhite.  Now after reading these comments, I need to look again at Voyager features. Adaptive lighting sounds important.  I love my Kindle Keyboard, but my husband sometimes complains about the click, click page turning sound when I stay up reading in bed, lol!

@ChynnaBlue, et al great reviews.  

 

Now I am wondering who makes Voyager and if it is compatible with my library which is a consideration for me.  Off I go to look.

Thanks to all of you for so much good information!  I'm leaning toward the Voyage.  Wonder if they ever go on sale?  Hmmmm!  But I have a credit. . . 


Amazon makes a very good e-reader. You may want a built in light, but you may not need 3G service.

@Sooner, I got my Voyage on sale. I wanted to buy on on Amazon Prime day, but that was mostly a bust with the Paperwhite on sale, but not the Voyage. Shortly thereafter, I logged into Amazon and the banner said that "Today only!" the Kindle Voyage was on sale for $149 instead of $199 AND they even had an installment plan where you could buy it with 5 monthly payments. I'd never seen that before and I haven't seen it again since. I bought mine that day and got one for my father at full pice several months later.

Thanks ChynnaBlue.  I will check out the electronics store after I make sure it is library compatible.  LM

THANKS for the encouragement!  It is "stalking" season for bargains now!  I'll keep checking on it.

FYI, if you are an Amazon Prime member, both the Kindle Voyager and the Paperwhite are $30 off their original prices, making them $169.99 and $89.99.  It's  a limited time offer, so if you are still interested, I would hurry! :-)
