At the moment I only have some PDF files, however I've bought books from amazon and admire their diverse range of books. I don't like carrying books on travels so I'm looking into the eBook reader alternative thus a tablet is out of scope. I want to be able to read in bed without annoying my partner so the back light is an important feature.

So what differs paper white from a voyage?

If you've bought books from Amazon in the past and you buy a Kindle, when you sign in to your Amazon account, all those books will show up on it.

The Paperwhite and the Voyage have the same screen and operating system. The Voyage has a nicer build (metal chassis) and a few bells and whistles (auto-adjusting light, semi-buttons for page turns). The Voyage is very nice.

The reason I mentioned the Paperwhite is that this is your first e-reader and the Paperwhite is cheaper (in case you don't like it).

In fact, for less than the cost of a Voyage, you could get a Paperwhite and a cheap Fire tablet to handle those PDFs you mentioned. E-ink readers can handle PDFs, but they don't handle them well. The best e-ink reader is likely to give a worse PDF experience than the cheapest tablet.
