I'm unsure whether the Voyager is worth a $38CDN premium over the H2O though, so there is that.

It's just a thought exercise for me. I'm a Kobo fan through and through. Doubt I'll ever buy a Kindle unless they're the only e-ink option left.
My reasons: bigger screen, waterproofing, ePub support, customizable fonts, book covers as screensaver, cheaper price

And one petty reason: Amazon snubbed Canadians by only selling the Paperwhite 5 MONTHS after US introduction, and are still doing it today. This isn't the case for the UK.
