I really wanted the Voyage to be a home run, mainly because of the Amazon ecosystem--I agree it's seamless, and I wanted to stick with an Amazon reader for the convienence. But, for me, the H20 turns out to be the home run in the hardware category, and it trumps the seamlessnes of Amazon's ecosystem. Once calibre is up and configured, it's not much bother to send books purchased on Amazon to the H20; it's worth the extra step (to me); the H20 is just that much better than the Voyage. I still have a book on prime on the voyage, and when I switch back to it from the kobo, it's kind of a bummer.
The more I read on the H20 the more I like it, it's by far the closest an ereader screen has come to looking/feelin like an actual book. The Kobo cover compliments the device nicely. if you're having issues with the Voyage, I'd strongly recommend the H20, especially if you have even a slight desire for a larger screen. The H20 is the first reader I've owned that I can honestly say hasn't had me wondering when the next generation of ereaders was coming out; it's good enough that I'd replace it when it finally dies, but the screen is so good IMHO further improvements begin to hit the law of diminishing returns. It's the first screen I've looked at and didn't say "I wish the font was sharper," or "I wish the lighting was better."
In a perfect world, Amazon would acquire Kobo. But since that's not happening soon, I'm now in the Kobo camp after four Kindles.
