I got mine last night and promptly spent all evening reading instead of cleaning/cooking/any of the other things I intended to do. I'd be sorry, but I'm really not.

This thing is fantastic. I'd only ever had touchscreen readers before and didn't think I'd use the sensors but I love them! They're situated perfectly for my short and stubby thumbs. I thought I'd get thumb cramp from holding it that way (I have an annoying joint condition) but it's actually much, much better than the Paperwhite was for not causing that. I read for hours in a row without becoming uncomfortable, and it was much easier to change hands than before.

The screen is lovely and clear, and seems warmer toned than my PW2 when you compare them at the same brightness. It looks even to me, so no worries on that score. The text definitely "pops" more and there's less of a fuzzy grayness to it which I'd begun to notice a little in the PW2.

There's not a massive difference between the two, otherwise, apart from that I'd updated my PW to 5.7.4 and the Voyage came with 5.6.5 and I think I prefer that a bit. I'll probably update it in a while but I'll keep my WiFi off until then. Otherwise, absolutely no complaints - I'm glad I took the plunge, though I'm also glad I paid the sale price as it made it even sweeter I'm just sad I had to leave at home today because my case won't come until tomorrow (3rd party, couldn't afford the Origami even if I had wanted it!)
