I'm in roughly the same boat as you, with my household having owned so many Kindles that the names are something like "8th Kindle." I go with special offers as well because I usually run with the antenna off for long periods anyway, so the device eventually switches to a default simple background.

I completely agree that the removal of the hard-buttons for page turning was the biggest deficiency with the touch-screen models. I'm so happy to see hard-buttons return. The Voyage looks a bit pricey compared to the last few I've bought, but I'm willing to pick one up.

Here's something I've wanted for a while, though: a small bluetooth page-advance button for bedroom reading. Maybe some day.

I often wish Amazon would focus on the Kindle e-readers since their tablets and phones seem a distraction.
