They were very helpful to sent out a replacement for me which I received on the following day. But the replacement is a refurbished unit and it is not better than the one I already have.
I think I am not going to achieve much by asking another replacement since the screen problem is a common production problem with Voyage as far as I gather from the reviews.
Is it a wise decision to go back to PW2 and forget about Voyage until Amazon releases an updated version of it? Voyage killed the joy of reading for me  |
When considering my first DSLR I was concerned about the complaints concerning "soft" pictures and a flimsy access door for the memory card. I bought the camera anyway and never experienced either problem. After reading about how horrible Windows 8 was I avoided it until I bought a laptop that came with Windows 8..1. I like it. And, there are the horrible, horrible reports of displeasure with Anroid 5.0, Lollipop. I'm using Lollipop and have I none of the problems being reported by some.
I was equally concerned by the comments about horrible color splotches on the PW1 screens. I bought one anyway, got another as a gift, and used my sister's Paperwhite. Amazingly, none had splotches.
So, I have a Voyage now. It's fine. It hasn't killled the joy of reading for me. If I put my Paperwhite and the Voyage side by side the screens are different. The Voyage is a bit warmer. The Paperwhite light is colder. I can't say I like one better than they other. They both work fine for me.
At this point, I do not see any advantages to the Voyage that would justify the higher price.
