The fact that Kobo was able to do it and offer it in their "midrange" product means, the screen is not that expensive at all. Were they able to foresee this? Or they intend to make the Voyage a cash cow for just a few months?
It's not just the screen with the Voyage, it's page press sensors and auto light adjustment. Both those functions are unique to the Voyage and personally I like and use both those functions.
