The capacitance tough on the Voyage is another layer. Also, I'm thinking that maybe the battery of the H2O might last longer as you can turn off the light.
See, imo, it's not noticeably better. I think it's very close. What I do think is better on the H20 compared to the PW is the screen looks slightly more even, and it's also warmer but that is personal preference. However, to my eyes, the fonts are slightly darker on the PW2. Josie also mentioned the fonts were slightly darker on the PW2 and she is seeing both devices in person. So that's important to me and I'm hoping the contrast is further improved on the voyage.

If the screens and contrast are equal on both, I will lean more toward getting the H20 as I love that you can customize it. But I also love the page turn buttons on the voyage. Also, I'm a little concerned about the software being glitchy on the Kobo as I've read about that. I have never had a problem with the software on any of my kindles. I guess we'll see once both devices are out and the screens can be compared in person. This is the first time I have been really tempted away from getting a Kindle. I certainly think the H20 looks like a great e-reader.
