Your pictures are an excellent illustration of the fact that this is primarily an issue of personal perception, because they all look absolutely fine to me.

Don't assume, either, that you can solve the problem by switching to a different type of reader: my Kobo Aura H2O shows a brightness gradient just like the Voyage (meaning that I don't see it visually, but I can see it on a photograph by copying/pasting the top of the screen at the bottom).

It may well be that frontlit screens are simply not to your taste, if this is a problem for you. Perhaps you should consider the unlit basic Kindle instead?
