I knew it! I should've waited before buying the Voyage :'( I never believed that the high price of the Voyage is justifiable only due to the "HD Screen" but my mom bought it for as a Birthday gift so I relent. However, if only we just waited a couple more months...

Anyway, the SD slot is a must for me (at least in Kobo) since my old Glo's internal stopped working before and I relied on the SD card for additional books. Kobo's "latency" and lagging never bothered me but I can't help but say that I got used to the Voyage's snappy responsiveness.

But for me, the price is the big issue here. If they made this right, I believe Kobo just killed the Voyage's "eliteness."

I don't think Amazon will lower the price of the Voyage. It's their current premium reader anyway. The only option I see for Amazon is to call the current Voyage a "Paperwhite" this year and lower the price to PW price range and offer something very new in the next generation's "Voyage"

Gosh, I feel bad right now. I want to have this Kobo Glo HD so much :'(
