But I have come to realise I'm tired with such limited choice of fonts Amazon offers (and what with this "personal" on my covers anyway). I keep old firmware and backdoor lock on my PW1 so I still have use alt fonts and Charis on it. But why do I have to go through hoops - if I order Voyage it will be the same. I never had an ereader with Carta screen yet either and I was impressed with clarity. I didn't see much though because the H2O was not set up in the shop. But it was lovely.

The first ereader I really LOVED was Opus but now page turns are really slow in comparison and screen is murky (although it too is in excellent condition). I have a big sentiment for it while K3 I never really liked. PW is all right but it never was my prrreciousss I have a feeling H2O will be the ereader to love. Come next Tuesday night (I'm home every Wednesday so I can receive parcels) I'll have to be tough...
I'll be curious if you end up giving in! I'm still a bit torn as I do really want the voyage for the page turn buttons and from the videos I've seen the screen looks lovely. I'm a little leery to take a chance on a Kobo, mainly due to their CS, but I still really want to see one in person. I love that you can customize it. I just wish there was one reader that had everything I want to make the choice easier. Keep me posted on what you decide! I can feeling you giving in! hee hee. I think you need a prrreciousss!
