Ok, today we had scads of sunlight, so I compared the Kindle Keyboard with the new Voyage. Both do excellently although I think the keyboard has a slight edge because it doesn't 'mirror' background images. The KK has a bluish cool background while the Voyage has a warmer grey background. Could easily read from either. However, when birds flitted around the window, I could see little reflections in the Voyage that I didn't see with the KK. Just a momentary distraction with that mirroring effect. Thus, don't use a Voyage in an aviary garden, but otherwise, I think you would be happy reading with either as far as that feature is concerned.

With the Voyage it was kindof annoying not to be able to turn on the text-to-speech when I had to give my eyes a break. Not everybody would have this issue - I have severe dry eye and didn't want to stop reading because I was at a good point in my book. Alas, no choice. With the KK, I have it set for text-to-speech and can just start that up when I need it.

I still have more power draw from the battery with the Voyage. Not as bad as out of the box, but I still think the KK is going to be better for battery usage unless you really need that lighting. Next week, I will try side-by-side by turning OFF the lighting on the Voyage and see how it compares. I don't want to unfairly pit apples and oranges against each other.
