Got my PW3 today. I was really hesitant after reading many PW2 owners were dissatisfied with the contrast and brightness, and in some cases the color of the screen. Some call it the Paperbeige, others say the screen is murky.
I guess you roll the dice when you buy one. I must have lucked out because my screen is white, the contrast is great, and it's brighter than my PW2. The Voyage is indeed brighter with a tad darker text (comparing the same font on each device). The increased PPI is very noticeable to me and the Bookerly font is quite appealing. Even though it's thin, it somehow works with the quality display on this particular unit. I haven't bothered to try the standard fonts.
I can finally put my H20 to the side and fully enjoy the Kindle experience again, without complaint. It feels so nice in my hand without a case. The Voyage is a beauty, no doubt, but there's something about the Paperwhite that I find more pleasing to my touch and better ergonomically.
