Yeah, the waterproof and dust proof aspects, as well as more font support, the lighting will appeal to hardcore readers.

Honestly, I haven't been keeping up on these things but the voyage might have somewhat superior dpi to the H20 but, if true, its really like a non-factor ereaders reached a sastisfactory level , a while ago, so now such improvements offer diminishing returns as improved screen quality is no longer a good reason to upgrade. That is part of the reason why I stil just have a Kobo Aura HD.

You guys probably know more than me on this stuff but in terms of sheer numbers of books Amazon does not have an advantage really e.g. more formats supported and Kobo supports both its native store and google books etc..

Amazon books may have a price point advantage --especially in different parts of the world.

Anyway, if one is not already locked into the Amazon system then I say go with Kobo e.g. voyage vs H2O.
