I've gone from a kindle keyboard, to a paperwhite 1, to the voyage. In order of preference I'd rank them best to worst - voyage, keyboard, paperwhite.
I was dubious of the pagepress 'buttons' on the voyage, but I find that I have less accidental presses with them than I did with the physical buttons on my kindle keyboard.
The front-light won't give you a headache. Turn it down, until you can't tell that there's a light, then turn it down a notch further. Used sparingly there's no light bleed, no glow, it just makes the background a little whiter.
The eInk is at least as good as the keyboard. The extra resolution offsets the loss of fidelity caused by the touchscreen layer (the paperwhite didn't look as sharp as either).
Touchscreen... it'd be nice to be able to turn it off. But you can't. It's useful for navigating the home screen, during reading you'll get used to not touching the screen easily enough, and if you're reading in a strange position in bed - and can't reach the buttons, tapping the screen to switch pages can be helpful.
