If you'd like a Kindle, then the Paperwhite is generally considered the best value for money. The main differences with the other Kindles:

The Voyage has haptic page-press sensors for page turning, a flush glass screen (vs recessed screen of the Paperwhite) and auto-adjusting frontlight (auto-adjusting can be disabled if you happen not to like it).

The Oasis has a larger screen (7'' vs 6''), more storage (8 or 32 GB vs 4 GB), page-turn buttons, an asymmetrical shape (thicker on the side with the buttons, thinner on the other side) and auto-adjusting frontlight; it's also waterproof.

The software is mostly the same on all three. The Oasis has some accessibility options the others lack, the most important of those is the ability to invert text (white-on-black instead of black-on-white).

If any of the abovementioned bells and whistles feels important to you and money is not an issue, get the Oasis. Otherwise the Paperwhite will do the job just fine.

A note: I would guess those Czech kindle-format books are in the .mobi format. With .mobi, you cannot use the font-weight options (bolding). If that's important to you, you'll have to convert your books to .azw3 with Calibre, before loading them on the Kindle.

There are of course other e-readers besides Kindles. I have no idea what's available in Czech, though. For example, is there some retailer who sells Kobo readers? Kobos are excellent readers too (I don't own one because they lack page-turn buttons, which are important to me).
