But I don't think they'd intentionally reduce the contrast to make the Voyage seem like a more premium device. From everything I've read the screen contrast of the Kobo Glo HD is very similar to the Voyage contrast. It doesn't make sense that Amazon would expend the effort to design a new PW3 to compete with the Glo HD and then intentionally make the screen inferior by reducing the contrast.

I think they could intentionally do that and get away with it because the average consumer isn't going to be aware of the lower contrast. All he'll see is that the PW3 has the same resolution as the Voyage and the Glo, and since it is in the lower price range (and within the Amazon ecosystem), he'll go for it.
