I am torn. I kept the least bad PW1 and least bad PW2 in the past two years, so I don't have a great PW2 to compare to. It looks really yellow next to the Voyage.

The bad:
Mine also has the two-toned light temperature (warm top, cold left bottom half, if the whole thing was like the left lower corner, it would be great) and a tiny pin prick. I also have a halo effect all around the screen, which is a bit distracting while reading. And in the daylight, the background looked dirty: tons of grey spots. I wonder if they are supposed to mimmick real paper?

The good:
I LOVE the smaller size and higher DPI and LIKE the pageturn buttons.

I have to say, I unpacked it during the day and was totally disappointed. Now, in the semi-dark, I like it much better.

Not sure what to do. I don't have the energy for another PW1 and PW2 returns game....

If the H2O could be bought in brick and mortar stores around here, I'd give it a shot for the font freedom alone, but I don't want to deal with Kobo CS.

I also received an HD6 today, that I ordered primarily for TTS, and the device is a bit disappointing as well.
