I am waiting for reviews. Kindle Voyage vs Kobo Aura H2O. Side by side comparison will be useful.

Allow me to help. Both will have excellent displays. Both will get very good reviews.

H20 has a bigger screen but a bigger and heavier body.

Voyage has buttons, H20 is waterproof.

Voyage has a more stable OS, H20 has a more full featured OS.

Voyage has tight integration with Amazon, H20 has much better integration with Calibre.

Decide what is important to you and go from there.

Hope this helps.

In addition Amazon has a nasty habit of under cutting their competition's prices and discounting. A behavior that I would like to encourage.

Buying an H2O doesn't mean that you can't buy Kindle books. I have an H2O, but buy most of my books from Amazon. Calibre and Alf are my friends. They are happy to be friends with anyone.

Agreed. I used a Kobo Aura HD for about 15 months and never purchased a single book from Kobo.

It is almost trivially simple to buy them from Amazon and convert them.

Nice. Glad you're enjoying it. How are you finding it in comparison to using kindles? Pros/cons, if you will. Just curious.

My delivery date for a Voyage without Special Orders was changed to Oct 31, 2014. It started at Nov 28 and then was reduced to Oct 31.

I'm still hoping for a further reduction.

I'm in the same exact situation. Funny how even though it's a month sooner it stills seems so far away!

And my delivery date still hasn't changed. I'm going to see if I can get one at Best Buy before Amazon ships the one I ordered (with 2 day shipping, ha!) on 9/18.

Mine is the same. Happy with the 10/31 date, should give me time to cancel if the user reviews don't indicate a significant upgrade over the PW2.

and @sirmaru:

Might I please ask when you placed the order? I placed it on the 3rd of October and still have a 9/18 delivery date. Thanks.

My order states that I placed it Sept. 19, though I would have sworn it was a couple of days after that.
