Hmnn. I'll be interested to see a competent reviewer compare the Voyager to the new Kobo H2O. For a $38CDN premium you get capacitive touch, page turn buttons with feedback, a light sensor for auto-brightness adjustments and a higher DPI screen (although physically smaller). Interesting. No waterproofing though.

Still, I imagine that those heavily-invested readers who have been wanting a premium reader with page-turning buttons are thrilled.

I'll also note that while Amazon has launched the new "basic Kindle" and the Fire 6" in Canada, they have not upgraded the Paperwhites to 4GB and they have not launched the Voyager as yet.

The new "basic" Kindle really blows the Kobo Touch out of the water though. $79CDN for a Carta screen, faster processor & 4GB on-board? Yeah, Kobo's gonna need to reply to that somehow. $65 Touch anyone?
