Am I the only one to notice this, or is this simply a case of the models I have seen.

I have not been able to to do a side by side comparison, so maybe my eyes are playing tricks. There was only one Voyage demo in one store and one Oasis in another.

But, before I make the investment of upgrading I would like to know if Kindle screens have a history of consistency. Was the more faded look of the fonts on the oasis I saw a fluke?

On the other hand, the Voyage is almost 2 years old model specs wise. These should be seriously coming down in price.
No, it's not a fluke. While there is a difference between individual screens, generally the text on the Voyage is indeed darker. I see the same on my Kindles (I have both the Oasis and the Voyage).
