You may already know this, but if you use Calibre to sideload your DRM-free books on to your Kindle, you can convert your books within Calibre and embed a font in the book. Then when reading on the Kindle, if you choose "Publisher Font" it will use the embedded font when displaying the book. Of course this only allows one font per book, and you have to have your files DRM'ed first.

No, they don't. Only with Kf8. Do all of the patches for Kobo work with both epub and kepub?

As someone who has owned both in parallel I'll share my views.

I bought the Voyage as I was interested in the new features. It was worth it for me for the higher resolution. However now that the PW has the same resolution I'd say the additional functionality of the Voyage isn't worth the premium.

The Voyage remains a great device just not £60 better.

For me the adaptive back light is annoying and adapts when I don't want it to. It's okay for turning on, letting it adapt, then turning off but again no big improvement from manually moving the brightness. The side buttons are okay and at first feel a little unresponsive but you soon get used to them. So for me it's got some bells and whistles but I don't value them.

Maybe others wood.

The screen is excellent and it remains my daily companion.
