I've attached an image of my Voyage (sorry it's not the greatest pic), and I can clearly see a gradient in low lighting or when reading in the dark, but it's a 'smooth' gradient from bottom to top (and to my eyes, not too bad). If one side was lighter as well, I don't think I'd be happy to live with that, refurb or not.

Incidentally, contrary to jswinden's view, I think its the glass screen more than the PPI that makes the text look much clearer on the Voyage. When I look at the likes of the PW3 & Kobo Glo HD I can only really notice how much better the text looks when I see an older ereader next to it. With the Voyage, I can look at it on its own and see that the text just looks better.
^^ your voyage looks SO nice. I just got a PW3, I really wanted a voyage but in Canada its $299 vs $120 for the PW
