I don't like the green tint on the Libra (I'm sensitive to color) and it doesn't look as clear to me. My eyesight isn't great and I need all the contrast I can get. I'm bummed that nothing has matched the voyage's screen yet, which I don't even care much about otherwise. I turned off the haptic buttons and the light sensor; the only two notable features the voyage has besides the screen just annoy me.
Hmm my Libra 2 doesn't have a green tint (my Sage does and my Libra 1 did as well). But I guess the screens vary between individual units.

I have reached the conclusion that the Voyage was one of a kind, as regards the contrast. No one has produced the same display since and so it's useless to want that. But IMHO the Libra 2 comes very close.

I have poor eyesight too. But I compensate for worse contrast with choosing a dark and sharp font (no default font on any ereader is good enough for me) and upping the weight. This way I've managed to read comfortably on both the Oasis 2 and the Libra H2O, which both had less than average contrast.
