I ordered a K. Voyage right away. I like K. Paperwhite's resolution and navigation (other than its deplorable on-screen page turning) but K. Keyboard remains my go-to eReader -- much so that I have a handful of K. Keyboards that I keep between matching bookends. I could not be any less interested in Fire tablets and phones if I tried, but I'm completely, shamelessly sold on K. eReaders!
Melissa, I also think I've owned every Kindle EBR (E-Book Reader) except the DX. I say "think" because there have been some minor variations like international versions, and I can't say that. I'm not convinced on this yet, but I may end up doing it. I'm seeing if Amazon will give me a review copy (which I would then need to return).
Laura, my guess is that the "squeeze turn" will work quite well. I'll be interested to see what people say about it. It may not work for people with some hand issues, but may generally be quite effective.

Will definitely be getting the new Voyage! I love my Paperwhite, except for the page turn via the touchscreen. The Voyage gives me exactly what I want, and the resolution is better so win-win.

I'm so excited about this. I've bought Kindles in every iteration they've released (except the big DXs), and while I have to admit the frontlighting of the Paperwhite is a really great feature, I've missed the physical page turn buttons very much. It seems much more inefficient to have to move my thumb to the screen every time I'm ready for a new page -- it's made me use a smaller font than is perfectly comfortable so that I have to turn the pages less often. I ordered last night and can't wait for it to come!

Thanks for writing, Laura, Melissa, and Evelynne!
Evelynne, my guess is Canada won't take long.

Yeah, I'll buy it as soon as Amazon lets it ship to Canada...
