The H2O lower resolution could be noticeable because of its larger screen size. The flush (not recessed) screen on the Voyage is a small plus. I think I'd like Kobo's library and customizable interface more based on reviews I've read, but this is minor. I like the concept of touching the bezel to advance. I doubt any other ereader is perfect in this respect for me, but this is one factor which makes me interested in trying a Kobo. The Voyage supposedly has better lighting, but I don't know if it fits my particular wants. I haven't tried a Kobo before, but from reading, I get the impression that its lighting would suit me better. I have the PW2 and I feel like the lighting isn't adjustable enough. This alone might make me go with the Voyage, especially if Kobo takes a while to connect through USB, as I read. Which, once again, I'd have to experience to see how bad they are, or I may be able to find video to give me an idea. The main negative I see for the Kobo is slight delays or hiccups. I'm sure Amazon's test users didn't complain about it, but I have some visual sensitivities, so I wonder about this. They are promoting it as having texture like a high quality paper would. Amazon claims it's micro etched glass so that it's evenly lit and doesn't interfere with reading. Again, I'd have to test drive it in different environments. Sounds good to me in terms of durability, but I am worried it would interfere with reading. Voyage has a glass screen unlike any other ereader. One thing that matters to me is screen durability. I think I would prefer the smaller screen and lighter weight (and thinner profile), but it's hard to say without test driving the larger device in different locations. The larger screen would be very convenient sometimes, but I don't know if it's worth having a less-portable ereader, personally. Amazon must have realized many don't want a larger screen. So many people are posting they prefer the larger screen. I only care a little about SD card support and waterproofing. But now I'm leaning back toward Amazon's release. I was leaning toward the H2O because I only sideload books. Most people should go with Amazon for their ecosystem.
