I was impressed with the zoom on both devices, but they should have displayed pdfs on both devices in landscape. That's the only practical way to read an a4 pdf on a 6" screen.
I cannot speak of the supposed glitch as I've never tried PDF on my H2O. But one thing that really stood out (I;ve seen it elsewhere too) is that the dithering for the graphics in the PDF were very poor on the Voyage. The image was dark and muddy and had much less detail then the same image on the Glo HD.

In the attached image from the GoodEReader video, the Glo HD is on the left and the Voyage is on the right.
