I will say that I'm happy with my Aura and if it were to be squashed by a steamroller, I'd likely order an Aura 2 as a replacement.

When I checked out a Voyage at Best Buy, the screen wasn't monumentally better to my eyes than my Nook ST. I mean really, it's black-ish text on a white-ish background. It doesn't take too much to look presentable. Or my standards aren't high. Take your pick.

But having said all that, if you were a newbie wanting to buy your first e-reader and you were comparing the Aura 2 to the Paperwhite 3, odds are the Paperwhite 3 would win.
