As of now, Amazone Kindle voyage is expected to release on 21^st October 2014. It is thin and light electronic booklet that won't break the bank. Let us see the key features for Amazon's new flagship e-reading device:

Amazon's Kindle Voyage serves up a luxurious look that appears to answer the rival Kobo Aura HD. At 7.6 millimeters, the Voyage is the thinnest Kindle to date. It also uses premium materials such as magnesium back and takes a page from tablet design by featuring a bezel that sits flush with the screen. It certainly doesn't look like your dad's e-reader or maybe your own previous device. Weight is pretty light, coming in at just 6.3 ounces for the Wi-Fi version and 6.6 ounces for the variant with Wi-Fi and 3G.

Sharper display: While the Voyage retains the 6-inch size of Amazon's main e-reader line, it boasts the sharpest screen quality of a Kindle so far thanks to a generous helping of pixels. Resolution is tack sharp at 300 points per inch. The use of micro-etched glass also helps eliminate glare by diffusing light, leading to a display that mimics the look of paper more closely. Meanwhile, an adaptive light sensor automatically adjusts brightness based on lighting conditions.

Easier page turns: Turning pages with a regular Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite requires using the touchscreen. While you can still do that with the Voyage, the e-reader also adds a new feature called PagePress that lets you turn pages via haptic feedback by pressing on the bezel for added convenience.

Battery life: Amazon likes to tout a battery life of six weeks compared to five to 10 hours for a tablet and four to 13 hours for a smartphone. That's a bit misleading, though, as that six weeks is for 30 minutes of reading per day with Wi-Fi off and the display set at 10. In short, its 21 hours, which isn't bad but still not as long as Amazon makes it sound. Charge time is about three hours.

Overall, the Voyage is a solid addition to Amazon's Kindle line. It's a bit pricey compared to the base Kindle and the Paperwhite but throws in additional features not present in the two, including the sharper display and the PagePress technology. Regardless whether you believe those features are worth the extra dough or not, the Voyage is undoubtedly the best e-reader in Amazon's stable at the moment.

It's up for pre-order now on Amazon for $199 (about £122, AU$221), and the Kindle Voyage release date is scheduled for October 21.
