First impressions? I haven't used it much yet, but with a couple of minor quirks, I'm happy with my purchase.
Things I love: the screen. Oh, the screen clarity is amazing compared to my old PW1. I turned out the lights last night, turned both of them on, and was blown away by how great the Voyage looked.
The light distribution on the Voyage was even--I'm not one who paid much attention about that when the PW1 came out, but in the dark, it again became clear how much better the Voyage was in comparison.
Page press buttons? Toss-up. I kind of like them, but because I've gotten used to touching the screen, I may not use them as much as I thought at first. I think this is a feature my mother will like once I pry that Nook GlowLight out of her hands.
What I hate? Well, something I probably wouldn't have noticed except I went cheap on the cover, ordered a Belkin instead of the Origami, and wound up with a cover that doesn't automatically put the Kindle to sleep. So I have to hit the power button, where I discovered that in order to "unlock" the Kindle, I have to swipe the screen. I hated that feature on the Nook Touch, which is why I don't own one of those anymore. Could someone with an Origami cover tell me whether they have to do this?
Other than the cover issue, which is my own fault, I'm glad I upgraded. Given how sluggish my PW1 was getting, it was time.
