The only front-lit eReader that works for me is the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight.

Honestly, I think the lighting is quite different between the Paperwhite and the Voyage. I can't read more than 15 minutes with my Mom's Paperwhite 1, but have no problem with either the Voyage or the ST with Glo. So, it could very well be that our eye issues affect that.
I'm guessing too that the Voyage will get dropped despite it's wonderful features. They did that with the HDX - lots of great features but the price put too many people off especially after they introduced the cheapo Fires.
