I keep my Voyage in a case now so the location of the power button no longer matters to me but I use to leave it out of the case and then I was glad the button was on the back. It takes no thought or fumbling like I had to do with my Paperwhite to locate the button and press it. That Paperwhite button design was pretty poor in my opinion.
I don't see any gradient on my Voyage. I can't say whether that's because of my eyes or because of my Voyage. Many decades ago I worked in a hardware store and when they needed someone to match a color they always came to me. I had a good eye for color. So I suspect it's my Voyage.
I don't think anyone really knows the reason for the gradient. A lot of people think it's the viewer. A lot of people think it's the device. Maybe it's both. What I think is nobody knows. Everybody's guessing. I do know that it was a big problem with early Voyages and it seemed to become less a problem over time. Maybe they improved the light. Maybe people just got used to it.
