			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.
