I spent the five-hour trip to my destination reading, then read some more the next couple of days. Although the device still had some charge in it, it probably only had a quarter of a charge left, so I charged it on Wednesday. Granted, I did a lot more reading than the recommended "half an hour a day," but it still seems like the battery isn't lasting as long as the Paperwhite's did. Because I know I'll be asked--I've got the Wi-Fi only model, and the Wi-Fi is turned off.
Amazon's battery life estimate for the Voyage is less than for the Paperwhite. Take a look at their product page. Also, keep in mind that new batteries tend to improve a bit after a few charge cycles, so I would expect it to get better after a couple of months of regular use.
