Now that I'm reading on my Oasis, the gradient on my Voyage is very clear to me again. Weird how that works doesn't it.
Indeed; from what I gather the Voyage is lit from the top though (or is it the bottom), so the gradient is mostly top-down? If that's the case, I suppose it's less distracting than having a drop in brightness at every line read?

I do hope that it doesn't send you into a week of spiraling indecision like it did for me!

Edit: I've added a pic of the Oasis 2 I once had. Can you see a gradient? I don't see it. It looks pretty even to me.
It does indeed; I also played a bit with your picture by applying the "flipped bottom" method as I did on mine, and there's no gradient at all. Seems like there's hope!
