I've had a Paperwhite for almost 5 years, since the first generation version was released. I'd like to upgrade to either a Voyage or the latest generation PW while the devices are on sale for Mothers' Day. My older device feels clunky especially when I load too many books at once. What appeals to me the most about the PW is that it comes in white (unlike the Voyage). That reminds me of my original Kindle 2, and I felt like the lighter color helped the device "disappear" in your hand. On the other hand I'd prefer physical page turn buttons such as those on the Voyage. In either case I'd buy the 3G version because I like having the ability to sync and shop anywhere. Do you think I'll be satisfied with the Paperwhite or is the Voyage that much better?
