John Lewis, Argos, Tesco, etc all matching offer... I'm buying from John Lewis later as I have vouchers to spend :smiley:
Anyone know how long the offer will last?

It's related to Father's Day so definitely over by the 19th.. but there's probably a date range noted somewhere.
The Paperwhite is amazing, best of the lot in my opinion :smiley:

I replaced my Kindle Keyboard with a Voyage about a month ago (a whisker over £100 delivered, following a fair bit of negotiating with Amazon)... and you're right. The haptic sensors are good, but not as good as the buttons were. The nicer screen is good, but not a game-changer. The front-lit screen can be useful, but not £100-useful. The smaller size (due to no keyboard) took a bit of getting used to, but now... yeah, OK, that's a bit better.
You're safe to stick with your Kindle Keyboard for now, IMO. Although the Voyage is an adequate replacement should it break.

What I like the best about the Keyboard 3G is that I can use it as a v.basic web browser, wherever I am in the world. The 3G allowance is no longer unlimited - but in a pinch, I have found it to be really useful (especially in Africa where mobile broadband normally costs a fortune!).
Oh, and I couldn't do without the book delivery via 3G...v.helpful :smiley:
One thing Amazon could/should do (and would make me consider an upgrade) is adding a gorilla glass screen. The K3G screen is very fragile - and means I have to keep it in a chunky protective case..which I'd rather not do.

Yeah ive been rolling with the Keyboard 3G myself since it came out around £150 i believe but was lucky enough to of picked up the latest 3rd Gen Paperwhite from the Tesco's deal for £39 the other week and its definitely a better experience TBF.

£39? I'd have been interested in that for the backlit screen. But I still probably would have hesitated :smiley:.
