Alright, Voyage.

Another (possible) reason that people will call it Voyager is because Voyager is a 'object/person' while Voyage is not considered an object when one thinks, or says 'the voyage' the mind generally does not immediately associate it with an object unless it's presented as such. So, for someone unfamiliar with it having only seen the name once or twice, they may very well have made the association of an object with it, and then made the association of Voyager rather than Voyage.

That's probably what happened in my case, I've seen it written Voyage dozens of times in passing, but I probably have seriously thought about buying the thing once since it came out. I have a feeling the page turn buttons would break, plus I almost always read in landscape mode, and don't believe said buttons work in that mode. It *had* a better screen, but I had no problem with the Kindle Paperwhite's screen at all, so that didn't interest me in the least, nor did the light adjusting option. It was a waste to me, so after the initial comparison there was never any interest and that was a long time ago.
