Funny this just happened to mine too, my Voyage is about 27 months old. The very bottom of my screen was probably malfunctioning for a long time, greater than one year for sure. I have always had trouble switching the reading progress indicator in the bottom left corner. But gradually over the last month it's gotten worse and worse till Saturday night it became unusable. I did manage to get it reset after great difficulty and once I reset it the thing is useless as there is no way I'm going to be able to type my email and password into it.
I'm in the US, Amazon offered me a 20% discount so I took the plunge and am replacing the Voyage with an Oasis. I think I will like the Oasis better except for the stock cover not propping it up on a table like the Voyage. I really liked that feature of the Voyage, although I really didn't find the Voyage that great to hold in my hands for reading in bed, etc..
I still have a 2nd gen Paperwhite (I had given it to my wife but she never used it), so I had a free option available but I've really become rather used to the newer/better screens. In terms of ordering a new one it was a tossup between a 3rd gen Paperwhite and splurging on the Voyage I guess. If they hadn't offered the discount it would have been 3rd Gen Paperwhite for sure I think.
I may open the Voyage up.. it's probably a loose/bad ribbon cable. Since it's just getting recycled why not.
