Deciding between a Kindle Voyage/Paperwhite or Kobo Aura HD/H20

Thank you for such an informative discussion. I have been delaying the purchase of an ereader, first because the full page refresh flash was highly annoying and only recently it seems that the Kindle Paperwhite has almost eliminated it.

I have sat on the sidelines and read the lighting issues for the Paperwhite 1 which made me wait, they seemed to resolve with the Paperwhite 2 but with the rumors of a page turning button Kindle I decided to wait again.

I truly can't believe that Amazon has released this Voyage with many of the quality control issues that were apparent with the Paperwhite 1. It makes me think they are either arrogant, have too many areas of the retail world taking up their time, or some combination of all the negative characteristics of a big box retail entity that loses touch with its customers.

For the first time I'm thinking of getting a Kobo Aura HD or H20, from what I have read on this site it seems to be superior to the Kindle Paperwhite/Voyage in most areas with one glaring exception, the full page refresh, does the H20 still refresh every 6 pages? Is there any way to set that number to every 12 pages?

For the people that have the Paperwhite only refresh after each chapter, do you have ghosting issues because of this?

Thanks for your time.
