I'm returning my first Voyage for reasons unrelated to the screen. The screen on my first Voyage was slightly better than the screen on my second Voyage, which kind of hurts... but only because I saw the first Voyage first and have to return it. If I had received my second Voyage first... I'd have been very happy with it from the start.

Within a week, I'll have forgotten about the first Voyage... and be "on my way," happy as a clam! (Assuming clams are happy, of course.)

Upgrading from a Kindle Keyboard (which I'll keep as a "beater" reader), the differences are amazing.

Yesterday I ordered an Oberon cover. I thought about getting the Origami cover but, in the end, I decided that I didn't like the flip-top style of cover. I'm sure I would've liked the fact that, apparently, it's very thin. (Oh well, for me, Amazon screwed up when they decided to make it in the flip-top style. I want my cover to open like a book.)

One more thing... if we could load our own screen savers, I'd probably have bought the Origami cover.

Me? I'm still waiting for mine to ship and when it does, it will go to my sister in Tennessee. She will bring it to me in Mexico in February. She keeps screaming, "You're turning your baby sister into a mule, a Kindle mule, I'm a smuggler."

Very happy with my Voyage. Good screen, and I love the page-turn buttons.

Maybe that's why I have terrible arthritis in my thumb joints from holding those big paper books open! I read a print book earlier this year and hated the experience so much I bought the Kindle edition to finish reading it.

I agree...I think I would have a hard time ever reading an actual physical book now.
