I do like my Voyage, despite in my heart wanting the Oasis for the buttons alone.

The issue with the gradient on the Voyage bugs me to no end and its really upsetting that I cant keep exchanging it since I bought it in US and Im in Canada, and they wont ship to me.

I can get used to the gradient, but I cant help but wonder if I could get one that doesn't seem so drastic, as I cant help but feel mine is on the middle to high end of the issue, while I see others say they dont notice the gradient, or its very faint.

Regardless, I enjoy the page press buttons, even lighting, and no bezel, so I can't see myself buying a Paperwhite.

However, regarding the fonts-- yes, it certainly feels washed out and coming from Kobo, I am failing to understand why Kindle doesn't let you side load fonts or customize them.

Is there an actual reason other than Amazon just wanting to be in control of the software?
