My touch screen (on the Voyage) doesn't touch near the edges of the screen -- despite the fact that the bookmark area *IS* near the edge of the screen.

I'm learning where to touch it, but are the PW2's better, touch-wise? Or is that the same technology?
I had problems with my KV#1 touch areas. At first they were fine, buttons, etc. Then after a FR in an attempt to fix the gradient they no longer responded properly. I loved the buttons (sort of) and the screen (touch part) beforehand and had no areas that wouldn't recognize - right up close to the edge for the screen and the buttons performed well, if a little sensitive. After the reset - which did nothing to help the gradient - the screen touch response had changed for the worse, didn't go all the way to the edge of the screen, and the buttons wouldn't respond in areas where they did before the FR. The buttons became much more localized and were very difficult to activate even on low. On low before the FR they were still overly "touchy". It was interesting to say the least.

I much prefer the PW2 for clarity, evenness, and touch over the Voyages I received. I just felt like the KVs I got weren't a finished product - half-baked, if you will. I wanted one so badly that I actually cried over the screen. When the second one was worse than the first, but differently - diagonal, instead of horizontal - I knew my gut was right and I had to wait for the KV2. The KV is a stunner to look at, but for reading (for me) it was a disaster, owing to the screen discoloration and the buttons. I eventually turned the buttons off, but could never reconcile the bad screen.

ETA - I ordered in my PW2 before I let the Voyage go so that I could compare and that's what helped me choose the PW over the KV.
