I completely agree with goggin, I am loving my Voyage. Still not sure if the screen is noticably better resolution, but i was comfortable with my Kindle Keyboard anyway.
A year ago I suffered a stroke, leaving the left half of my body paralysed. I'm still undergoing rehab and can walk again though my left arm doesn't function yet. So its was difficult for me to read books or magazines while hospitalised, and still is. So the Voyage was a bit of a feel-good treat for myself and it sure has worked. I can't stand reading from screens normally, its like having a torch shining in your eyes so I was apprehensive about the lighting but its so easy on the eyes and uniform across the screen.
So now I'm helping my brain recover with lots of reading i can settle into a comfortable reading position and use the Voyage one handed. No more fighting to keep a book open or stop pages flipping back. I do miss the side pageturn buttons of the keyboard, I prefer the tactic feel of them and I hate finger smudges on the screen, unlike other devices though the smudges are pretty much invisible when reading. A very well designed and usable product.Expensive? yes, Essential? no, my older Kindle Keyboard is still very enjoyable and works perfect after all these years. No other brand I've played with has impressed me in any way, but my kindles always put a smile on my face. Speed? like almost everything else it could be faster, but they are not slow by any means.Colour? I don't miss it in any way, one day we will have colour eInk screens but its not needed, besides how many paperback books are lavishly illustrated in full colour anyway?
