The Voyage has Amazon's superb customer service. When I needed customer service for my Kobo I spent three weeks trying to get through to them. Once I did they were very good. But they sure do know how to avoid customers.
My best Kobo to date is the Kobo Aura. If I had nothing else to compare it to, I'd love it. It's a first rate device to read on. But I also have a Paperwhite and a Voyage. While it's true that I can do far more fine tuning on my Aura, nothing I do with it ever makes it look as good as the Paperwhite.
By the way, I've turned off the new features on my Voyage and that makes it have only one advantage over the Paperwhite: the way it feels resting in my hand while I'm reading. Other than that they're pretty much identical so I don't think it really matters whether they're comparing the Kobo Glo HD to the Paperwhite or the Voyage. For reading purposes there's not a lot of difference.
I'm thinking I might want to get the Glo HD. I'll know more when I read more user reviews. I use the Aura for short stories since I have it. The problem is the screen isn't nearly as good as either of my Kindles and maybe the Glo HD will make a good replacement for it. However, I live in the USA and it might be difficult to find one.
