So I am letting myself a bit more time to decide but am not sure about keeping the H2O.
Aw that's too bad, aceflor. No H20 case chat, I guess. Darn. I'm glad you love the voyage so at least you do have a device you love reading on. It's interesting because I actually do feel the wow effect on my H20 of the font being close to the surface. I change the font weight which for me actually makes the font look nicer than it did on the voyage. I find all the fonts on the kindles too light and thin for my taste. I also prefer the warmer screen much more too. It's interesting how much everyone's views differ on these things.

Before making a final decision be sure to try Pocket on the H2O before making a final decision. It is a great feature.
I was just thinking the exact same thing, Stingo, as I mentioned above. It is indeed funny how personal the way we experience things is. Same as you, I find the H20 screen gorgeous and so natural and the voyage cold and florescent. The H20 is so easy on my eyes. I even preferred my Paperwhite 2 to the voyage, but far prefer my H20 to all of them.
