I was just surprised to read reports that the GloHD's text seemed less sharp than the Voyage since both have 300 dpi Carta screens. I was hoping it was just an issue of adjusting font-weight or lighting.
No, my apologies odamizu, I wasn't getting at you or anyone else. I just think that while the screen on the Glo HD might be very good, its not really fair to judge it against the Voyage or H2O because it's clearly a lot cheaper to make. I wouldn't like to think people will be slightly disappointed with the Glo HD if it doesn't quite match up to those two ereaders, the fact is, it shouldn't. They are premium models, the Glo HD is mid-range, and ignoring any other pros and cons between Kindles & Kobos, it's not Kobo's fault they now have a far better screen on their mid-range model than Amazon do on the Paperwhite.
