    Bluetooth page turner is nice but at this point I have zero interest in a Kindle unless I can load KOReader on it. I might buy one of these if they go on a sale and leave it in a drawer until it's jailbroken. I love my PW5 (jailbroken) but I'd buy a Kobo if they had a 7" screen (Clara) since that's easier to get KOReader on.

      Yeah, they're adding all this functionality to the hardware, as though that's the reason that I'm not using Kindle. Now that they've locked down the ecosystem, I only pay for DRM free books.

        They should have really added hardware buttons on the device. That would make me buy them (though I'd still jailbreak as soon as I can).
