Amazon's latest e-reader sports a next-generation paperwhite display

Though we haven't evaluated Amazon's recently announced Kindle Voyage for ourselves just yet, a peek around the web shows that it's getting generally favorable reviews, some of which are calling it the best e-reader yet. That's high praise at this stage of the game. If you want to check it out for yourself, here's a heads up that the Kindle Voyage is now in stock and shipping to homes starting at $199 (Wi-Fi with Special Offers).
"Kindle Voyage is designed to disappear so you can lose yourself in a story," said Dave Limp, Senior Vice President, Amazon Devices. "This is the most advanced Kindle we’ve ever built. Customer response has been overwhelmingly positive, and we’re working to build more as fast as we can. We can’t wait to get Kindle Voyage into the hands of readers starting today."
The Kindle Voyage sports a high-resolution 300 ppi display that's supposed to read more like a printed page than ever before. It also comes with 4GB of internal storage to hold thousands of books, 802.11n Wi-Fi and optional 3G connectivity, free cloud storage for all Amazon content, pressure-based page turn sensors with haptic feedback, a built-in light that shines on the page, light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness, and a flush front bezel.
It's a bit pricey, which is the consistent knock against the device, though the built-in light and high-resolution display might make the cost easier to swallow. Speaking of which, here's a price breakdown:

• Kindle Voyage Wi-Fi w/ Special Offers: $199
• Kindle Voyage Wi-Fi w/o Special Offers: $219
• Kindle Voyage Wi-Fi + 3G w/ Special Offers: $269
• Kindle Voyage Wi-Fi + 3G w/o Special Offers: $289
