For those whom are still searching for their next Ereader.
Here are my reasons to go with Voyage:
Voyage got a faster SOC, so in future it might be rooted. Software openness doesn't bother me too much. Even if it did, I could get it rooted with serial connection right now. The logic here, software is changeable, however CPU isn't. Despite that, Voyage software seems to render text more sharper than Glo HD which is more important to me than loading .epub directly.
Glo HD advantage is that it got the font's weight option. This is responsible for increasing the boldness, in which it could make the text to appear more darker. I'm assuming I could do the same thing through modifying .azw/.epub css/html file with a font-weight: 900 (max boldness) (check
www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_weight.asp for more info, and bear in mind it depends on the font). This solution would require you to be modifying each Ebook to fit with the font's weight you pick. Anyway, Kindle store is not supported in my place so I'll be spending my time transferring/converting my Ebooks through PC.
Touch keys seems a gimmick, however I find the concept to be interesting so if it will make my reading experience better, why not?
Unlike what reviewers saying, I believe that Glo HD is an upgrade of Glo, in itself it's a revial of Paperwhite not Voyage. Think it as this way, Glo HD is geared towards being more financially feasible. Think of it in this way, why Aura is being more experesive with it's cheap old pearl screen Aura VS. Glo HD offered cheaply with a modern screen Glo HD. The price of Aura and Glo HD doesn't seems right at all. You could guess from this indirect analogy that more cost cutting approches went with Glo HD than Voyage.
Apparently, the QC with Kobo is less than Amazon's Kindle Voyage as I already read from different buyers review. Do not take my words on this.
Finally, I have to add this, neither Kindle nor Kobo are manufacturing the E-ink screens. Actually E Ink Corporation does, and the quality control should be associated to them, specifically the poor quality-control and the multi-color issue. Needless to say, material choice, front glass, battery , etc.. are Amazon's/Kobo's fault.
Hope you guys find this post useful.
