Argh.
I'm definitely returning my voyage, but I'm going to give the H20 a try. If that doesn't work out, I'll stick with my PW2 for another year.
What defects are you noticing on the Kobo screens? I thought they looked pretty good as far as evenness goes. I want to give one a try and see what I think. I do a lot of reading outside in the Spring and Summer and also at night in the dark, so I really love having a lighted reader for night, but one I can also use outside. I just wish they didn't make the process so painful for us. Good luck with your decision! It might be worth trying one more, do you think? Maybe at Best Buy?

They almost always turn the light up so high in the Kobo images that the text looks washed out. I can turn the light up high enough on my Voyage to mask the screen imperfections, but then I wouldn't be able to read because of the extreme brightness. I suspect if the light on the Kobo was turned way down to the equivalent of level 10-14 on the Voyage, which is where mine stays set, we would see a much more accurate image. But it doesn't really matter as I will never buy another Kobo because of their constantly changing FW that is like the Forrest Gump box of chocolates--you never know what issues it will introduce. And their CS is terrible if you live in the USA. And I don't like their ecosystem. Amazon actually has a good ecosystem.
