So, I was wondering what you found different between them, besides price?
Actually I have settled into using my Kindle when traveling as its stronger and in a book style case I think its more robust (i.e its not made of plastic) but for home I use the Kobo Glo HD.

I buy DRM free books so I can have both an epub and a mobi file and I keep the same books on each device, manually syncing as I need to. I just find the Glo HD more easier on the eyes, I can have my own font, at the size I want so the text is darker than the Voyage. I have to manually adjust the light on the Glo but its just a slow slide down the left hand side, so I can tailor my brightness easier than manually on the Voyage, and more fine tuning than using the Voyage auto adjust.

I don't miss the page turn sensors at all. Its just a more gentler screen to read on and suits my eyes better.
