I wasn't going to get one, because I wasn't sure about using a reader with a flush screen, but I was at Best Buy, and they had them there, and, well, I'm a sucker. The screen is amazing--the text is sharper than I've seen in any reader.

If I look REALLY hard I can detect a faint gradient from slightly yellowish at the top to slightly bluish at the bottom of the screen, but really, it's only noticeable to me in certain lighting, and when I'm reading, I don't notice it at all.

I put it out on a table with my Kobo Aura HD, Onyx T68, PW 1 & 2, and K4NT Silver, and had 4 different people look at them and asked which one had the clearest screen. Every single one of the people I asked picked the Voyage. This was in my dining room with pretty poor lighting. All devices were showing the same book, approximately the same page (as close as I could get to the same location in the book) approximately the same lighting level (except for the K4NT) and as close to the same font and font size as I could get.

I'm glad I gave in to my impulse.
