I got my Voyage yesterday (a day earlier than the link said). Overall, it's easy to read and I like the light and pseudobutton. It is very light, it is small. Most of my grumbling is simply due to it being DIFFERENT than what I was used to. I am NOT happy about the power usage. I read a cozy for about 3 hours yesterday and was down to half battery power! On my Kindle keyboard, I can read 3 ebooks before recharging. Ok, I accept that more power would be needed for the light, but still. (whine)

Now, I did NOT turn off the wireless, so I'm going to try turning that off and recharging and trying again. This was intended to be an 'at home' device since I have 2 other devices that are take-a-long, but still, I was surprised by the power consumption. I'm accustomed to just plugging in the ereaders once a week to recharge, and heck, I have had to recharge the next day!?

Katie, you wondered which would be better. I'll check out Best Buy tomorrow (I know they have a PW3 as of tomorrow) and post here. Both have 300 DPI and 24 light levels - PW3 requires YOU to set the light levels while Voyage has option to set automatic adjustment. PW3 is a bit larger and heavier. So far, that's all I can tell you until I try one.
