I recharge tablet at night anyway so battery is not an issue for me. I get v fast page turns , retina display quality, 300+dpi text, controllable background shading, full colour book covers,epub3 support, immediate page turns, tap to access wikipedia / dictionaries of my choice, no ghosting, no gradients, no blotches, wireless access to my calibre library via calibre companion.... what's not to like and why pay nearly £200 for some inferior, slow, gray scale only device
I have an iPad retina mini that I did read on for commuting for a while but I don't want to carry an iPad mini and an iPhone out with me. The iPad mini is worth 4 times the cost of my new Kobo Glo. Also I don't want to read on a tablet. I like e-ink ereaders. Just ask a fair price for the product your selling and I think the Voyage is overpriced considering all the issues it seems to have.
