That's what I'm hoping, but no one really knows until it starts arriving. The wait is killing me. Due to the price I didn't jump right on board. The good news there is that I can hear what the new owners are saying and be better informed when it does get here. Saving grace.

True, but the bezel should not cause page turns, ever. Only the screen should activate page turns. My PW1 activates turns from the bezel - I'm not the only one with the problem and it makes reading and holding my PW1 miserable. I think Amazon decided to turn that issue into a boon with the Voyage.

I don't suppose you bought the extended Warrenty with your PW1? If you did and it's still in Warrenty I'd get your PW1 replaced.

According to another poster you could still give it a shot out of warranty and they might give you a full original refund! Tell them you're thinking of giving the Kobo H2O a shot and they might upgrade you to a Voyage.

I have found Amazon to be responsive to out-of-warranty issues in the past. It's certainly worth a shot.

I hold my Kindles with my my thumb exactly over the area where the page turn button is. I have carpal tunnel and arthritis so I frequently readjust my position to ease the stress and/or pain. That's why I'm concerned. I understand about the pressure thing because my current Kindle - a PW1 - will change pages with the slightest shift of my thumb, even though it's not supposed to. I don't need another one that costs twice as much as a current gen PW. I'll just get a new PW2.
Holy crap, now that's cursed. I've never had any major issues with a Kindle or a Kobo, outside of one Aura HD replacement due to a screen issue. At least you can use the return policy if the Voyage turns out to be less than ideal due to software issues. I'm half afraid we'll see posts about the bezel being too sensitive or the light not being sensitive enough to ambient lighting changes.

Can't really argue with that..... if you don't see any difference, that's great for you. (except of course that you didn't buy it!)

It's only very vaguely similar but this just reminds me of a certain poster on here saying there was nothing wrong with the original PW and the blotchy screens looked fine, before later admitting their eyesight wasn't very good.

I remember that same poster, and I was one of the people who went through a bunch of them until I settled on the least bad one, that still showed rainbow clouds and a pin prick.

Congrats Josie! Glad you managed to get a good one (and one that consequently meets your expectations ).

If you have the time, when you get your Voyage can you post pictures showing it, the H2O, and PW together? TIA!

I love Amazon, and practically live my life there, but when I called during normal business hours PST, asked for and got a US rep on, she was like "meh, so?". I told her nicely what was going on and she didn't even care. Period. I didn't even get an email from her to get feedback, and that's a good thing. Her response, in addition to my PW1 issues, is what made me look seriously at Kobos this time around. I'm still kinda stunned by her response.

LOL The more I take my glasses off or my contacts out, the better my PW1 screen looks. Seriously though, mine is very blotchy.

Ditto. Same with my PW1 and my K3 (two had bad gaps). On the last two Kindle gens the least bad won.

I never read my kindle with my glasses on. Why ruin the smoothness of the letters and the evenness of the screen?
