I'd be surprised if Amazon didn't eventually release a Paperwhite with sound as a higher-priced model, but I haven't heard anything about any such movement. People seem to want to pay almost nothing for 'just' an e-reader and the reviews focus on which e-reader is the best $-value. <br /><br /> As much as I like a light e-Ink ereader, if I could have only one at this point, it'd be the 7" tablet, for the flexibility and because I'm news-oriented. Luckily, we don't usually have to limit ourselves that way though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-66913657547431465492013-03-13T06:33:59.393-07:002013-03-13T06:33:59.393-07:00I have the Classic -- now in a lighted cover I pic...I have the Classic -- now in a lighted cover I picked up when it was (a comparative) bargain -- and like it fine; am attracted to the Paperwhite, and may eventually get one for my spouse. But: a. I wonder if I'd miss the sound card, were I to move to the Paperwhite *today* (hypothetically); and b. I wonder whether Amazon mightn't consider increasing the Paperwhite's on-board storage and adding a sound-card in its next iteration, given the investment they've made in keying Audible books to their Kindle edition counterparts. That would make the Paperwhite the perfect device for language-learners, but would keep it great for the rest of the e-ink loving world.<br /><br />I have the 7" Fire HD, and an iPhone; but if I could only have a single device to my name, I'd choose a 3g e-ink model with a soundcard, for light weight, readability, and a means of blocking out other people's cellphone conversations on public transport.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-63900205559908680222013-03-13T01:58:21.758-07:002013-03-13T01:58:21.758-07:00Yeah, Kindle Paperwhite rules.
