That said, it's all relative. The Glo's fonts are quite readable, I just thought they would be a little sharper and not quite as faded out. Without the "Glo" light turned on, the screen is "muddier" than the non-lit Kindle Touch's so, when reading on the Glo, I pretty much have to use the light -- even when the room is brightly lit up.
For just a little bit more $ than the PW2, you can have a screen every bit as good as the Voyage. That's a heck of a deal. And with the Glo HD, you can install Constantia and use that as your go to font. You cannot do that on a Voyage because the Voyage cannot be jailbroken. The only way to use a font not on the Voyage is to embed in a KF8 eBook.
