Anybody played with one yet? I've just read Jeff Atwood's post, and he seems to like it.

One question that remains unanswered, though: I really liked the fact that the Kindle Keyboard had page back/page forward on both sides, and was disappointed to find that I couldn't hold the Paperwhite in my left hand and advance pages so easily. The buttons are back on Voyage, but it's unclear (both on Atwood's review, and on the Amazon page) whether they're on both sides, or left=back, right=forward.

I'm not positive, but I think they're both forward... I think you can still tap on the screen too, though... But I could be wrong.

From one of the user reviews of the Kindle Voyage:

"Press the long vertical line on either side of the bezel to turn the page, and the dot sitting above it to flip back one page. You'll feel a slight vibration to confirm that you've pressed the sensor."


And, yes, all of the touch-screen features of the PaperWhite are still included in the Voyage.
