Kobo Aura HD vs Voyage vs Paperwhite

I am new to the forums and lately I have been wanting to buy an e-reader. I have a 200 ebook library in ePub which i have already converted to mobi and tested on my iPad 4 kindle app and it works.

I mostly use my iPad 4 as an ereader but I would like a device that doesn't hurt my eyes when I try to read in bed at night despite my reading glasses that have an anti-reflective coating.

I am really impressed with the 300ppi screen of the Kindle Voyage but $200 is too much for a device that only displays text and the Kobo Aura HD also looks very nice and has more screen real estate, and the Paperwhite is the cheapest of the bunch. The new basic kindle also looks very attractive.

Is there really that much difference between 300 or 265ppi and 212ppi or 167ppi in terms of text sharpness?

I am casual reader. I mostly read fiction and don't care much about highlighting or notes, though a Dictionary is important.
