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.

The photos show the H2O to have darker text. And you can adjust the text to up the weight on the H2O.
As for the glitches with the Kobo firmware, Daivdfor says that the next firmware version is worth waiting for.
The problem I see with the Voyage is not the hardware, but the software. If I'm paying $200 for a Reader, I want customization options that work, not ones that go from not really acceptable to totally unacceptable. Plus, Cloud collections is a really bad idea on Amazon's part. Also, nobody yet knows if the Voyage will be able to be jailbroken and if so, what can be done with it.
Amazon should be trying to complete with Kobo in terms of the software and Amazon is losing fast.
