The Voyage has buttons and a much better screen as well as a front light. And one other thing the Voyage has a complete firmware. The Kindle Touch has an incomplete firmware missing many features/options.
Agree with the recommendation. However, one thing to be careful of. The page turn buttons on the voyage are not actually physical buttons. Some love them, some loathe them. I think the only current Amazon device with physical buttons is the Oasis, which fits the bill but is a little on the expensive side.
