It depends how much you want them. I like the buttons and flush bevel (but not if I can't remove margins), but I wouldn't pay extra for the light sensor.
Amazon may not *need* to respond to the Kobo offering, but I'm 95% sure they will. But it's a bit of a conundrum. If they lower the Voyage price, the PW becomes less relevant. If they add the new screen to the PW, it makes the Voyage less distinct. Maybe we'll see an across the table Kindle price drop. Not a bad thing.
Another point is that the Kobo cover is $10 less than the PW and Voyage case. That's yet another $10 less, and it's (relatively) saner pricing for a case.
I do think the knowledgeable e-reader buyer will be not quite so eager to buy a Voyage at the current price because of the Glo HD pricing. It just makes the Voyage...less premium. It makes the Voyage worse value.
I look forward to seeing Amazon's response.
