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.
2 words - bigger screen!! It makes all the difference to the reading experience, IMHO. So much so that I don't think I can ever go back to a smaller screen reader.

On an unrelated note, Amazon's pricing on the Voyage is curious. Not sure I understand it given the fairly benign new features. Again, just my opinion, which doesn't count for anything!
