I only have a PW2 to do any comparisons with, but is the firmware that different between the PW2 and the Voyage that they included the ability to darken fonts on the Voyage? I know on the PW2 there is absolutely no ability to darken, thicken, or add weight to any font, and you're stuck with the few system fonts. Even the original Glo lets you darken fonts much more than the PW2 does, giving much more contrast when needed.

I would think firmware features are pretty much the same across one brand's readers, like it is with all of Kobo's readers. I don't want to add to the discussion about comparing a Kobo to a Kindle, but I'm really curious if the Voyage really does have a way to darken fonts that their PW2 does not?
