Thus it comes down to the decrease in the size of the reader and the sensor. My question is this - do the new voyage owners like the sensor and decrease of the size enough to make it worth your extra dollars?
There are some advantages that I can see for the sensor, frequently I get out to the bus stop in the morning, and its too early for the sun to be up yet, and I turn on the paper white's book light and I frequently need to adjust the light a few times to get it right. The light sensor would eliminate that adjustments, since the reader is doing it I would imagine that the sensor would get it right the first time, unlike me.

I've been using both the Nightlight and the Light Sensor... and the higher resolution, on the Voyage, is very nice. I love this new reader, except for one thing... Application Errors!
Last night I couldn't even get my Voyage to turn on. I had to do a 20 second reboot, right from the start.
Often, I'll touch the touch screen and nothing will happen. (Once I'm in a book, things seem to get better... it's the On Device/Cloud, My Items, and Recent pull-down menus that're causing me all the problems. Oh, and the little 1/5 thing at the bottom of the page... that rarely works!
Matter of fact, it's doing it right now. I just turned my Voyage off and then back on with a short press, and now I can't get the top menu with the picture icons across the top of the page! My Kindle is completely locked up right now! FRUSTRATING! (I'm going to call Customer Service, because this is getting too frustrating to bear.)
