Yes you can see the charging light from the case. Here is a pic of my voyage in my case, so you can see for yourself.

I would take you word for it, Haydnfan. I was shocked to get a Moko case that had the light behind the frame. I had to carve it out with my knife.

Coming to the original question of which is better, what stores have both the newest PW and Voyager. I want to experience it seeing in a store before buying one. For me the screen clarity isd utmost importance as I want to have least strain as I have issues with my eyes. Vision ot that good, so clarity is important. Both Voyage and PW3 have same ppi. so I dont understand the contrast is better on Voyage argument.
any thoughts who have both which is better for people who are aging |

You could always order both and return the one you don't like (or return both if you like neither). Even seeing in a store is not necessarily going to give you the information you need, as you cannot control the lighting and demo units might not be up to snuff. Plus you probably need more time with them to evaluate than you'd have in a store.
I have not seen either device but it is not the same screen: the top layer is different and most people report text 'pops' more on the Voyage. Specifically, Voyage has a glass layer, Paperwhite has plastic layer. Last edited by tomsem; 07-27-2015 at 06:34 PM. |

Resolution and contrast are really not the same thing. Contrast is the ratio of luminance of white to luminance of black displayed by a screen. For example, my pc monitor is an IPS panel and has a white level 1,000 times brighter than black making the native contrast 1,000:1. My tv is an SPVA panel and has a white level that is 5,000 times brighter than black making the native contrast 5,000:1. They both have resolutions of 1920x1080, yet one contrast is five times the other. Similarly two eink readers with the same resolution can have dissimilar native contrasts. Myself included, it seems that every poster that owns both has given the nod to the Voyage for having better contrast. With multiple separate observations of one having better contrast than the other, it just might be true overall. I don't think that the PW's screen is inferior though. It's screen is the closest I've seen to eink looking like paper. The flush screen on the Voyage really pops, but it doesn't remind me at all of what paper looks like. |

Do any of the PW's or Voyage play MP3 files? I still used my Kindle Keyboard as I love the page turn buttons and MP3 player for audio books.
