I'm told the original Voyage was good, but never seen it. I compared a PW3 and PW4 side by side. Alone the PW4 looked OK, but was so much poorer in ambient light I bought another PW3 to have rather than a PW4 (just recently released).
Despite lower DPI the original Kobo Aura HD H2O was the best contrast (IR instead of capacitive touch). The DXG and KK3 are noticably poorer than the PW3 for ambient contrast and resolution. The DXG only 150 dpi, KK3 167 dpi as were the Basic Models till the 300 dpi with frontlight came out (2022?), very like a PW3, but not seen one.
The Oasis gen2 I had was about the same as PW3 side by side in ambient light but a better screen size. I think 6.8″ to 8″ is better size than 6″ for reading fiction. The 9.7″ and 10.3″ are both too big and heavy for comfortable fiction reading (DXG, reMarkable, Elipsa tested). I do all my fiction reading on 8″ now.
I turn off page animation on Apps and set eink to refresh on every page, which is almost like a paper page flicking and shortly you don't notice it.
