I think you might have a defective unit, the touchscreen on my Paperwhite works reliably.
That said, even when it works perfectly it remains inferior to the simple shoulder buttons that the older kindles had. I hope Amazon brings them back on the next Kindle.
And those "touchstrips" on the Voyage are indeed infuriating. If anyone is in the market for a kindle then by all means save your money and stick with the Paperwhite.
- thaumasiotes 12y agoI have an older kindle with shoulder buttons and a keyboard. That interface would be vastly superior to a touchscreen except that Amazon unaccountably left the numbers off of the keyboard. Far and away the most common use I have for the keyboard is jumping to a particular location, which calls for me to input numbers. The Paperwhites I got for my brother and sister use much more convenient number input (touchscreen) and have much nicer cases. I prefer my grey screen to their white, though. If Amazon just released a kindle with the same four shoulder buttons, the same screen, a lighter-weight case, and number buttons so I don't have to navigate an on-screen symbol display with a hard-to-use D-pad, I'd be thrilled. The buttons don't need to be reimagined. I don't get why they left.
