The Voyage screen is a bit brighter but for my the Paperwhite is bright enough. I don't like the haptic buttons on the Voyage so I have them turned off. I do like the surface of the Voyage being glass all the way across.

I prefer reading the Paperwhite in bed. It's a bit larger and easier for me to hold onto and I live in Mexico and haven't been able to get a case I like. I do not like the Origami flip over the top and stand up if you read at a table case.

I don't know where you are but if you have the thirty-day return policy get both and see which Nan likes.

If I could only have one Kindle it would be the Paperwhite. But, HarryT who knows a lot about Kindles and is a smart guy prefers the Voyage. It really does come down to personal preference.
Thanks Patrick appreciated
I'm in the UK, there is no 30 day return here unless it's faulty or unopened (sealed in box). Nothing can be resold as new once it has been opened by the customer in the UK, it's illegal They have to sell any returns that are opened as secondhand.
We will be buying online, nothing is getting sent back. And we not concerened about cases or buttons.

I'm interested in hearing about the light differences between the two for night reading.
