Kindle Voyage looks like almost perfect reader.

I have been Kindle user since they had Kindle 3. I love K3 but I wish it had backlight. I bought Kindle Touch but gave it away, cuz touch screen was clumsy to use for page turning. There were so many times where I tapped a link accidentally while turning a page. However, I liked touch for quickly tapping word to look it up in dictionary.

This Kindle Voyage with dedicate page turn buttons, backlight, and touch screen might just be perfect..

If only it had "Text to Speech." I guess not many people like to hear books in monotone. But I use it to listen to old classics, blogs, or other fiction while walking on treadmill, driving, or when I just too tired.

I have an older Kindle, and didn't want to get a Kindle Touch because I don't want touch screens for page turning.

I'm glad to see the return of page turn buttons.

I had a long drive to do, so downloaded an audiobook from the internet and burned it to CD (well about 10 cds). Listened to some music for the first hour, then decided to open the audiobook. To my disappointment, it wasn't someone reading it, but a computer generated Steve Hawking like voice.

The thing is, the first 10 - 20 minutes were a bit annoying, but after that you get used to it and hardly notice.

Was Text to Speech removed? I know at least the last model with the full keyboard had it.

Yeah, it was removed in Paperwhite. Voyage is also missing this feature. But Kindle Fire still has it.
