My first PW2 was okay, just barely, and I kept it for a while before deciding the Nexus 7 and iPad mini Retina both had much sharper and darker text. I do like the text on my Voyager, but the gradual change from very noticeable blue tint to a cloudy cream color is a bit much. I just haven't convinced myself I would get a better one as so many look just like mine. I can read on it, but it could sure be a lot better, especially for $200!
There is something else. An iPad Retina mini starts at $299 this year, so for the Voyage to start at 199 with its imperfect screen is a bit tough to swallow this year, considering this. I have an iPad Air, but just saying.

Plus, the shoddy PP, the same tired 6 fonts and the same exact software just make me wonder if this purchase is justified. :S
I had pretty bad flashbacks talking to the CS rep. I also forgot how many PW1s and 2s I went through, but it wasn't pleasant.
