Thanks Stingo and sparklemotion for your reviews.

In Canada the situation is the opposite of the U.S. I can walk down to Chapters Indigo and take a look at a Kobo h2o, whereas the Kindle Voyage isn't even available for purchase yet.

Leaving the Amazon ecosystem was a hard choice. I'm coming from a Kindle DX, my second eReader after an early Sony. I had tried the 1st Paperwhite but didn't keep it. I found that I was still feeling eyestrain with the front-lighting, giving it no advantage over using a tablet.

It sounds like things haven't improved much for Kindle?

So I finally picked up an h2o. It took quite some time to setup, but so far so good. Pocket integration is a really nice bonus as well.
