I own a refurbished Voyage (recently purchased on the nice sale) and the Kobo Aura One. Hands down the Kobo Aura One for me. There are things I like about the Kindle Voyage, it is very quick and responsive and MUCH better at highlighting, but the reading experience is far, far better with the Aura One, simply because of the screen size and new comfort light. I also adore the Overdrive library integration.
The nice range of font sizes is most helpful for my older eyes, I can get a lot of text on the Aura One screen as opposed to 2-3 sentences on the Kindle. It's much more immersive and I feel like I absorb what I'm reading far better with the Aura One than I do with the Kindle. For me, that outweighs every bell and whistle the Kindle might offer.
I'm 60 years old and the size and weight of the Aura One have not bothered me. I do sometimes use a stand for it. It goes with me everywhere, just as all past readers have done.
I honestly don't care whether my reader is the latest thing or not as long as I can read comfortably on it. There's always something newer around the corner in tech, but what is newer is not always better....
