An hour with the Kindle Voyage

Recent reviews had me a little predisposed against the Kindle voyage, seems I was worrying too much. Quick first impressions:

Page turn buttons work great. Touch screen turns drove me nuts on my Paperwhite, and I may just keep the device just for this feature.
Screen pixel increase is nice, but not reason enough to update from Paperwhite.
Backlight looks more even than my Paperwhite first generation (which was notorious for darker corners).
The glass screen flush with case is wonderful.
Size is ok. Actually would have preferred a little bigger.
Back side is a fingerprint magnet. BTW, it actually has a magnet, probably for the case.

For reference, I bought the No Ads Wifi version.
