I've mentioned this in other threads, but, in the absence of a jailbreak allowing NiLuJe's custom fonts and screensaver hack, I returned my KV and went for a Kobo H2O. Originally not all that happy because the page turns were a touch slower -- but I must say that I'm now used to them and am happy to have the benefit of custom fonts, custom font sizes, custom line spacing, custom margins, etc., plus NiLuJe's screensaver hack as an automatic option. The screen quality is, IMO, equal to that of the Voyage, plus you get a slightly larger screen (I mostly consider this a plus, it feels and looks more like a book -- others might not -- it no longer fits in a blazer inside pocket). Plus waterproof (to a point).
I'm not a hacker (other than using the tools made available here), but there is some very helpful development on the Kobo forum for customizing the device with different headers and footers, different font size and line spacing steps, etc. Plus Calibre drivers to auto-convert to kepub format, which as NiLuJe said, is really the format you need to use. In any event, that forum can only benefit from NiLuJe's participation!
Having said all that, I would still consider re-purchasing the KV if NiLuJe's screensaver and font hacks were available for it. I actually miss whispersync and xray, and the device itself is still pretty sweet in its feel and responsiveness.
