I think the two big things that everyone really cares about are the resolution and light. The Glo HD matches the Voyage on one and I guess we'll just have to wait and see about the other. If I were considering a Voyage then I would definitely be taking a look at this reader as well. Is the price difference $60 plus the $20 ads fee?
Yes, I did get it backwards. I've edited my message o now be correct.

One thing I am really interested to see a comparison of is the front light. Given Kobo reputation of getting it right the first time, I do expect the front light to be better.

As for the price, at a grand total of $159.99 for the Go HD + Kobo's Glo HD case, it puts the price of the Voyage to shame especially since the Voyage is more expensive than the Glo HD + case.
