I didn't remove the headers, I get more text on the H20 than the Voyage, same font size, for what it's worth. I will probably remove the header at some point to get even more text on there, just been too lazy to patch it, and eventually Kobo may make it an option with a firmware update anyway. I've grown to like the footer, having an accurate number of pages left in a chapter somehow clicks with me. To me, it's the extra width of the H20 that's so darned nice, it feels more like a page from a book, on the Voyage, it feels more like a newspaper column.

Karter, I have the refresh to every page, and I have the font weight somewhere between default and 100%, I don't have it turned all the way up, using Caecilia or whatever it is. I have no graying of the letters, try that and see how it looks.

Personally, comparing the screens next to each other at roughly equal lighting, the H20 looks much, much better IMHO--more natural, less electric looking.

I'm keeping the Voyage--I've given my paperwhite 1 and 2 to my kids over the years, and kept an old basic kindle (which I liked better than the paperwhites, the screen was sharper, blasphemy, I know). But the Voyage is so much better than the Basic that I'm hanging on to it--it's really the ultimate in portability. At home though, it's the H20 hands down.
