It's funny because everyone is talking about the new Kindle Voyage and how the text seems to be closer to the surface blah blah. What a load of tosh! My old Kindle Touch (which I'm doomed to use until it dies) features text that sits right on the surface, much more like print (sharpness aside) than the Kindle Voyage.
Seriously, how has NO review mentioned the awful uniformity of the Kindle Voyage? I'm borderline furious thinking about how excitedly I read the reviews, sighing to myself that Amazon finally got it right!

The h20 is supposed to have a better screen than the aura. I can't vouch for any of it myself though, never having seen either. If I compare the font on my pw2 to the voyage, I do think there's less haze and that the font appears closer to the top layer of the screen. That said, there's no comparison in that aspect to my old kindle touch where it's very upfront. But compared to the pw's, I do think there's improvement in this area. To my eyes at least.
It's shocking to me too that no reviews mentioned the uneven screen, surely some of them received one. Then again, reviewers never saw the color hues on the paperwhites either.
