When reading, I really don't notice that much difference but then I'm using a heavier font for most of my reading.
Comparing it to a co-worker's Kindle PW2, the larger screen and higher resolution hid any other differences though we had fun trying to get the lighting to the same level. Being able to tweak the H2O's light level by 1% steps helped there. I had hopes of bringing another Kindle user to the dark side but he was last heard muttering about ordering a Voyage.

Many thanks for your description. I was impressed with what I briefly saw in the shop but the reader was not configured so I couldn't play with it. I am happy to hear about the black and especially the cream color, my PW1 is rather ice cold with dark grey letters. I will not go for Voyage, it doesn't interest me that much this time. I absolutely cannot afford H2O now and I have 3 perfectly working ereaders but it doesn't mean that I can resist it
I will probably order it next week and from a place that gives 30 days free mail returns. There is a shop here across the street but returns are for 15 days on condition that the box is not opened (outrageous and idiotic). As it also is a McDonald kind of electronics shop I don't expect they would accept any possible problems or it would be fuss from here to eternity. I'm not going to take any risks with them.
