Voyage > Aura One > Oasis > H20 > Glo > PW2 (which are the only ones I can legitimately comment on...)
Screen quality and colour uniformity is a whole different ball-park, with the Oasis being one of the worst looking devices I have ver seen - period - and the Glo HD being not much better - which was very shocking to me at the time...! Thought it looked worse than my H2O and after seeing it on display in a store had eliminated any of my interest in buying it...

The photos on that blog just look like in comparison to the Aura One and Vision 3HD photos, some of the others are slightly out of focus?
IMHO I think the H2O and Voyage look the best two screen in terms of how clear the text looks. With the H2O I think Kobo have made it a top-of-the-range device and managed to get the best possible looking screen you can with a built-in light/IR touch combination. And while there is a little bit of a gradient away from the LED's on the Voyage, Amazon have done the same with it's built-in light/capacitive touch screen. I think it's down to the high quality glass screen it has, which makes the text almost seem printed on top.
By comparison, the likes of the Glo HD and PW3, are made that little bit cheaper, and therefore not surprisingly aren't quite as good (more noticeable with the previous gen PW2, Glo). But you don't actually notice the fuzziness of the text on these readers until you look at them next to the more expensive models. I think if Kobo have managed to make the Aura One only slightly less crisp than the H2O, they've done a good job with it considering the added factor of the capacitive touch screen.

Can you post a link to a bigger photo aceflor, its hard to see that clearly since you can't zoom in (picture, camera, lighting quality discounted ;-)). We all know only too well of the variances you can get in ereader screens (seemingly even more so with those that have capacitive touch), so perhaps yours is just a 'bad' one in terms of the text crispness? Although to be fair, the few comparison photos I've seen of the H2O and Aura One, the latter doesn't look quite as clear to me.
