Just what I needed, thank you!! I don't know how it escaped my attention when I was searching for it. Ordered the "Dreamcatcher" color.

Re: Amazon Kindle

Is it possible to have multiple users accounts like in Windows?

For ex, if I share my Kindle with my wife can she have a separate user account with her books and preferences?

No. Kindle devices are meant to be personal devices. You can own multiple devices with the same account, but a device cannot have multiple accounts.

Re: Amazon Kindle

Today I noticed a white line on the upper side of the screen (picture attached) Mine is relatively a new Kindle PW (10th Gen) bought in July 2021. It has been hardly used and kept packed in a cloth case without any item on top of it. Any fix for this issue?

Then I looked up when I bought it, and was surprised it was 7 years old. Which device these days lasts 7 years when used everyday and everywhere... so I decided to retire the Voyage.

I had two choices, 2019 release Oasis and 2021 Paperwhite (11th gen). It became clear the cheaper Paperwhite is a better choice. Two days later I had it in my hand.

It is bigger than the older Voyage, but not as big as the keyboard Kindle from 2010. The reading screen is 6.8 inches instead of 6 inches.
