Kindle Voyage Owners

I have the Kindle Paperwhite & I find the fonts quite grey so I was looking at the Voyage & I was wondering if the blacks were any blacker.

I have noted that both my Paperwhite and the Voyage have 300 ppi screens so what is so good about the Voyage that makes it worth the money.

The Voyage is slightly smaller, slightly lighter and slightly flatter, has the side buttons and automatic backlight. I don't think it's worth the extra but YMMV.

I've a paperwhite. Can't say I've noticed grey fonts.

I understood the Voyage had the same display, but my source is a Dixon's staff member at Gatwick so may not be authoritative!

I would recommend paper and ink.

My Voyage fonts seem fine but I dont have the new paperwhite to compare them with. is it worth the money? Possibly not but if you use it all the time you may want to spend the extra. It is nice not having to put your fingers on the reading surface to change pages, it sounds something small but for some reason I like it. The haptic feedback on the turn page is nice but can be turned off if you dont like it. It can also brightens the screen as it gets darker which the paperwhite couldnt do when I got it, maybe it can now. Upshot, IMO its better but whether its worth the extra is up to you.

The new paperweight has an extra font on it that the current voyage doesn't, but that's more about shapes than contrast.

Is it the bookerly font you are thinking of I tried that & I wasn't overly impressed.
