For those that have experience with a Clara HD and a Kindle Voyage (and/or other Kindles)...
What am I going to think of the screen clarity, sharpness & contrast of text and general quality of the visual experience when comparing a Clara HD against the Voyage in particular?
Thank you for any and all thoughts.

hey. just got my Clara today and so far I love it. I had to return my Oasis due to buggy hardware and I am surprised at how great the Clara is. I didn't care for the Voyage and returned it so I can't compare those two.
I prefer the form factor of the Clara over the Oasis. screen lighting is even and as nice as the Oasis, plenty of brightness, very adjustable and has the same type night lighting. you can also do night mode if you like, and I do. I think it's very sharp and clear, but there are also adjustments that can be made to line weight and size. if you're not happy with loaded fonts you can side load fonts. if the battery dies it can be swapped. if you want to swap your SD for a larger one you can. there seem to be a zillion tweaks available, called patches, so you can pretty much adjust what you want.
I sent over one book initially after conversion to epub and it worked perfectly so I sent the rest. the touch is snappy and pages turn about as fast as the Oasis. books look great while reading and you can customize header and footer via patches, and some aspects are already in the latest fw, as I understand it.
one of the best things for me is that the battery is far more robust than current gens of Kindle.
