The flush screen in combination with the glass makes the text look better on any other ereader I've seen since the introduction of lighted screens.
Why are the buttons part of the upgrade on the Voyage, but not considered an upgrade when used on some other reader?

The Nook Glowlight 3 is definitely a good option against the PW (and yes you can argue a better option), but only if you are in the US, which the OP isn't.
That I can't argue. Though with Calibre and Alf, does it really matter? When I was unhappy with the Kindle and the current Nooks, I bought a Kobo, though they aren't exactly available in the US.

I admit that isn't for all users. But I have a Kobo and buy all my books from Amazon. and sideload them. I wish in general that was the way e-readers worked. You buy the device that seems best to you and buy your e-books from where you will.
