Still no remote/bluetooth capabilities. That's the only thing that would make me upgrade, the third-party remotes you can buy are all pretty clunky (bulky clip on the side of the Kindle, need to be recharged often, can only flip forward as they just fake a swipe on the right of the screen).

I've also been waiting for remote page turning.

Connecting a Bluetooth remote to the Paperwhite or using the Scribe's pen to turn pages remotely would be fantastic.

I can't understand why remote page-turning capabilities are not being included.

There are multiple listings on Amazon for the clip on remotes that have 10,000 reviews. The use-case is common.
