I can understand some buyers are wary of buying an H2O via the net. Why aren't Kobos stocked in stores in the USA?

Kobo and Amazon's front-light tech is clearly different, and Kobo does it better. I wonder what the difference is.

Add the increased size of the H2O screen over the Voyage, and I think the H2O is the clear winner. And it's cheaper too!

I do like the flush bezel design. Kobo hasn't used it on the H2O. Maybe they avoided the extra layer of complexity in favor of producing a flawless product. The 6" Aura had it and did have some issues compared to the glo and the Aura 6.8". And now the same with the Voyage.
