My voyage has a very nice screen and the contrast is really nice. I use the page press feature while reading and find it to be a nice feature. I do find the screen to be a bit glossy, but it does not interfere with my reading. I pretty much do all of my reading on the voyage. It is very thin. I purchased a leather cover from a seller on art fire and it adds just the right amount of thickness to make the voyage easier to hold one handed. I do not own a paperwhite 3,(I have the 2nd generation)but I got a chance to use one last night at best buy. The screen is very good. Not as glossy as my voyage. I do like the ergonomics of the paperwhite. It feels comfortable holding without a cover with one hand with my thumb resting on the bezel. If something happened to my voyage, I would replace it with the pw3. My voyage was a gift. I do love my voyage, but I'm just too cheaP....
