And even less screen brightness and more room light.
Both screens now so low brightness that shadows can be cast upon them. Note that their sliders have a different sensitivity scale, and that the whitebalance on the Kobo can be tweaked. Pure white reference on the chocolate wrapping above them. I dont really know what this picture is supposed to prove here... |

That blue screen reminds me of the first few Voyages I saw in different stores a couple years ago. It wasn't until I saw a better whiter screen much later at another store last year, then I decided to go ahead and order one, the one they sent was also whiter, they can vary quite a bit.

![]() If you *do* have external light, the internal light should be set just high enough that the background appears white, not grey: no higher. Its job is to whiten the background and improve contrast, not act as a light shining unpleasantly into your eyes. ![]() |

Here you go. First time posting a pic, probably not that great. This is my voyage light set at 12.

So you might well be seeing a version of the screen that other people don't see. Also, part of the "discoloration" of that picture is an artifact of the lighting and a "too smart" automated camera. |

That said, I still find it too blue for my liking. Thats why I love the KA1 so much. I wish a whitebalance slider was industry standard in these devices. |

The Kindle is a very difficult subject as far as lighting goes since it both reflects light and emits light. At least it isn't hard to pose, it does hold still for as long as you need. |

By chance, does anyone have a comparison of two voyages from different years? Something like 2014 and 2016?
I was sold a 2014 Voyage from Amazon last month and it seems I was given left over stock, but I wonder if they quietly improved things for later batches |

Yes that would be helpful . Also more font choices like Kobo . Kindles has only had the same few font sizes for years. I keep hoping they will add a few more.
