I'd like to see a comparison between the T62 and T62+ screens. My T62 has a slightly "washed out" look. That's my only complaint, or anything close to a complaint. If I saw an improvement in contrast on the T62+, I might be tempted to upgrade - now that I have a tax refund to play with!
I actually like the Adobe stock reader on the T62. Of all the third party reading apps, I like Moon Reader Pro the best. I start with the outdoor theme (maximizes contrast), change the default font to one of my favorites, and adjust the font size.
As for the Voyage, I look at it this way. If all I wanted from an eInk device was to read eBooks, then a Voyage with a computer that had Calibre would be a pretty good setup. I could buy my eBooks from wherever I wanted, then process them through Calibre, and then transfer any non-Amazon ones to the Voyage. Setting it all up takes a little time, but once set up, it should work well. However, I wanted an Android eInk device so that I could also use apps that aren't reading apps per se, but basically involve reading, like Instapaper and Logos Bible Software. If you want that kind of freedom, neither a Kindle nor a Kobo will do. You need to go Android. And, out of the Android eInk devices I have seen so far, the T62 looks like the best fit for me.
If you put the T62 side-by-side with the Voyage, the Voyage will look better overall. But, the T62 looks (and is) good enough for what it's made to do. You can put a Honda Accord side-by-side with a BMW 3-series, and the BMW looks better. But if you get the Accord and don't worry about the BMW, you have a perfectly fine car at a lower price. Same principle here.
